When expanding the main memory, make sure that the specifications of any newly added memory and the currently installed memory are the same. The following instructions are provided to those who are familiar with system assembly/disassembly in order to help them to find the memory specification. If you are not familiar with system assembly/disassembly or do not know your memory specification, you should not perform the memory upgrade. Please contact customer support for assistance. The motherboard has two SO-DIMM sockets, which can accommodate up to 4.0 GB of memory. If new memory is installed, its type, size and speed are automatically checked by the system BIOS. Each of the SO-DIMM sockets supports the following memory specification: 200-pin DDR2 SDRAM Socket, Dual-Channel Support, 533/667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory Interface. The appearance of the SO-DIMM memory in the figure may not reflect the actual memory, depending on the system model. 1. Before proceeding, make sure that the system is turned off, that you are wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available in most computer shops), and that your workspace is dust and smoke-free. CAUTION ✓ Your PC uses the SO-DIMM socket for memory. For expanding the memory, you must purchase the SO-DIMM memory for installing. You can’t install the DIMM memory in your PC. The general desktop PC uses the DIMM socket for memory. 19 2.
