To install a DDR DIMM:
1. Locate the two
DIMM sockets on
the motherboard.
2. Unlock a socket by
pressing the
retaining clips
outward.
3. Align a DIMM on the
socket such that
the notch on the
DIMM matches the
break on the

Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization
The system motherboard supports different memory frequencies
depending on the CPU FSB (Front Side Bus) and the type of DDR DIMM.
*When using 800 MHz CPU FSB, PC2700 DDR DIMMs may run only at
320 MHz (not 333 MHz) due to chipset limitation.

A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction.
DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM!
