Installing and Removing Memory
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 access the PC
Serial Presence Detect Specification at:
http://www.intel.com/technology/memory/ddr/specs/dda18c32_64_128x72ag_a.pdf
The desktop board has four 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets arranged as DIMM 0 (blue) and
DIMM 1 (black) in both Channel A and Channel B.
Guidelines for Dual Channel Memory Configuration
Before installing DIMMs, read and follow these guidelines for dual channel configuration.
Two or Four DIMMs
