1.7System memory

1.7.1Overview

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.

The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

Sockets

Channel A

DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2

Channel B

DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2

 

 

Install at least a memory module in DIMM_A1 or DIMM_A2 slot to support the Intel® Quiet System Technology and for optimum performance. Otherwise, system will halt.

1.7.2Memory configurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered non‑ECC DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
