2.6Installing a DIMM
The system motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:
DIMM_A1
DIMM_B1
128 Pins |
| 112 Pins |
P5K18L
P5K18L 240-pin DDR2 DIMM Sockets
2.6.1Memory configurations
You may install up to 4 GB system memory using 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DDR2 DIMMs.
• Installing DDR2 DIMMS other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations in the table on the next page.
•Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR2 DIMMs in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1.
•Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
•Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 4 GB system memory when you installed two 2 GB DDR2 memory.
•This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips or
