The system does not support combination of single-channel with dual-channel memory.

Use only DDR2 DIMMs. Other DIMMs will not fit into the socket. Attempts to force a non-DDR2 DIMM into a socket will damage and/or the socket or the DIMM.

Hold DIMMs only by the edges. Do not touch the components or gold edge connectors.

Install DIMMs with gold-plated edge connectors only.

Important: Follow the DIMM module “Installation and population order” on page 158 when installing and removing DIMMs.
