Installing additional memory

The three 168-pin sockets on board support Synchronous Dynamic

Random-Access Memory (SDRAM)-type DIMMs. You may install 32-MB,

64-MB, 128-MB, or 256-MB single and double density for a maximum

memory capacity of 512-MB.

Note: Due to a chipset limitation you can only use two DIMM

sockets (DIMM1 and DIMM2) when you install a 133 MHZ front

side bus CPU. If you install a 100 MHz front side bus CPU then you

can use all three DIMM sockets. However, the maximum memory

capacity still applies when using three DIMM sockets.

The SDRAM DIMMs should work under 3.3 volts; 5-volt memory devices

are not supported. Both PC-100 (100MHz) and PC-133 (133 MHz)

SDRAM can be installed on the mainboard; however, they cannot be

used at the same time in a computer. Contact your dealer for qualified

DIMM vendors.

Caution! Do not use both PC-100 and PC-133 SDRAM together.

Such a combination might cause your computer to malfunction.

Each of the DIMM sockets is independent from each other. This

independence allows you to install DIMMs with different capacities to

form different configurations.

To remo ve a DI MM

Note: Observe the “Installation precautions” on page 47 when

installing or removing a computer component. Also, make sure

that you have removed the computer cover (see

page 49).

1. Press the holding clips on both sides of the DIMM socket outward

to release the DIMM (see step 1 in the figure).
