There may come a time when you want to expand the main memory capacity. 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 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 DIMM sockets supports the following memory specification:

240-pin DDR2 SDRAM Socket, Dual-Channel Support, 667/800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory Interface.

The appearance of the DIMM memory in the figure may not reflect the actual memory, depending on the system model.

2) Align the notches of the DIMM memory with the slot keys of the socket, this allows the memory to be inserted.

Gently push the memory into the slot until both ejector clips rise to the lock position.


4 Replace the metal cover and fix with the screws.
