The Desktop Boards D845EPT2 and D845EBG2 have two 184-pin DIMM sockets arranged as banks 0 and 1, as shown in Figure 8. If installing a single DIMM, install it in bank 0.

Refer to the Main Memory heading on page 12 for memory requirements.

2.Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC power cord.

3.Remove the computer’s cover and locate the DIMM sockets (see Figure 8).

4.Remove the AGP video card if it interferes with the DIMM clips being easily opened and closed.
