2-4 Installing DDR Memory
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules
to prevent any possible damage.
Memory Module Installation (See Figure 2-2)
1. Insert each DDR memory module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incor-
rectly. (See support information below.)
2. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
Support
The P4SPA+/P4SPE supports Dual or Single channel, Non-ECC, unbuffered
DDR-400/333/266 SDRAM. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are
supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots. (*Note: Populat-
ing DIMM1,DIMM3 and/or DIMM2, DIMM4 with memory modules of the same
size/same type will result in the dual channel, two-way interleaved memory
which is faster than the single channel, non-interleaved memory.)
To Install:
Insert module
vertically and
press down
until it snaps
into place.
Pay attention
to the notch.
