Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup

5-6 Installing Memory

!

CAUTION! Exercise extreme care when install-

ing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any

possible damage. The MEC must be populated in the manner described in Step 2 below.

1.Memory support:

The 370SSR+/SSE+ supports 64MB/128MB/256MB/512 MB unbuffered SDRAM in three 25-degree DIMMs. PC133 and PC100 memory are both supported at their respective speeds. However, if three DIMM modules are installed, the memory will run at 100MHz even if PC133 memory is used due to chipset limitations.

2.Installing memory modules:

Insert each DIMM module into its slot in a 25-degree angle. Pay attention to the two notches along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot (see Figure 5-4).
