Intel Desktop Board DG33FB Product Guide

Removing the Processor

For instructions on how to remove the processor fan heat sink and processor, refer to the processor installation manual.

Installing and Removing Memory

NOTE

To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel SDRAM memory specifications, the board requires DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure.

Desktop board DG33FB has four 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets arranged as DIMM 0 and DIMM 1 in both Channel A and Channel B.

NOTE

Regardless of the memory configuration used (dual or single channel), Channel A, DIMM 0 must always be populated. This is a requirement of the ICH9DH Manageability Engine feature.

Guidelines for Dual Channel Memory Configuration

Before installing DIMMs, read and follow these guidelines for dual channel configuration.

Two or Four DIMMs

Install a matched pair of DIMMs equal in speed and size (see Figure 13) in DIMM 0 (blue) of channels A and B.
