NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.

WARNING! For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK setting of 166MHz, use only DDR333 compliant DDR Modules. When this motherboard operates at 133Mhz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your DDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.
