Hardware Installations and Upgrades
If additional memory is to be used, install another matched pair of DIMMs in DIMM 1 (black) in
both channels A and B (see Figure 5).
Channel A
256 MB, 400 MHz DIMM 0
512 MB, 400 MHz DIMM 1
Channel B
256 MB, 400 MHz DIMM 0
512 MB, 400 MHz DIMM 1
Figure 5. Dual Configuration Example 2
NOTE
All other memory configurations will result in single channel memory
operation.
Installing DIMMs
CAUTION
Install memory in the DIMM sockets prior to installing the PCI Express* x8
card to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanism.
To make sure you have the correct DIMM, place the DIMM on the illustration in Figure 6 showing
the DDR2 DIMM. All the notches should match with the DDR2 DIMM.
Figure 6. Use DDR2 DIMMs
To install DIMMs, follow these steps:
1. Observe the precautions in " Safety Information" at the beginning of this document.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the computer and
disconnect the AC power cord.
3. Remove the c omputer’s cover and locate the DIMM sockets.
