Intel Desktop Board D410PT Technical Product Specification

1.4 System Memory
The board has two 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets and supports the following memory
features:
• DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs
• 4 GB maximum total system memory
• Minimum total system memory: 256 MB
• Non-ECC DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR2 800 MHz and DDR2 667 MHz DIMMs
NOTE
Due to passively-cooled thermal constraints, system memory must have an operating
temperature rating of 85
o
C.
The board is designed to be passively cooled in a properly ventilated chassis. Chassis
venting locations are recommended above the system memory area for maximum
heat dissipation effectiveness.
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR2 SDRAM memory specifications, the
board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not
function under the determined frequency.
Table 4 lists the supported DIMM configurations.
