CAUTION
When connected to AC power, the memory slots on the board will be powered and in
use. A red LED, located near the memory slots, will be lit if the memory slots are
powered.
Installing or removing memory from the board while the memory slots are powered
may result in damage to both memory and board.
Before installing or removing memory, disconnect the system from AC power and wait
for the LED to go off before proceeding.
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel SDRAM memory specifications, the board
requires DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. You can
