See the documentation that came with the boxed Intel Pentium II processor.

How to Install Memory

You can install from 8 MB to 384 MB of memory in the motherboard DIMM sockets. The board has DIMM sockets arranged as banks 0, 1, and 2. The motherboard supports the following memory features:

∙168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts

∙66 or 100 MHz SDRAM

∙Non-ECC (64-bit) and ECC (72-bit) memory

∙3.3 V memory only

∙Single- or double-sided DIMMs in the following sizes:

DIMM Size	Non-ECC Configuration	ECC Configuration
8 MB	1 Mbit x 64	1 Mbit x 72
16 MB	2 Mbit x 64	2 Mbit x 72
32 MB	4 Mbit x 64	4 Mbit x 72
64 MB	8 Mbit x 64	8 Mbit x 72
128 MB	16 Mbit x 64	16 Mbit x 72

When adding memory, follow these guidelines:

∙You can install DIMMs in any of the three banks.

∙You can use different sizes of DIMMs in different banks.

∙The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.

∙For ECC operation to be available, all installed memory must be ECC and you must enable the ECC Configuration feature in the Setup program (see Chapter 3).

✏NOTE

All memory components and DIMMs used with the SE440BX motherboard must comply with the PC SDRAM specifications. These include: the PC SDRAM Specification (memory component specific), the PC Unbuffered DIMM Specification, and the PC Serial Presence Detect Specification.
