Hardware Installation
2.2 System Memory
The 168-pin DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) sockets
support PC SDRAM DIMM,
3.3V. PC SDRAM
(Synchronous Dynamic
Random Access Memory) is a
fast memory interface
technology that includes
using the clock on the chip
to synchronize with the CPU
clock so that the timing of
the memory chips and the
timing of the CPU are synchronized. This saves time during
transmission of data, subsequently increasing system performance.
The system board supports the ECC (Error Checking and
Correction) function. To use this function, you must install DIMM
that supports parity. That is, DIMM that typically has 9 memory
chips per side. This kind of module has 8 standard memory chips
and a parity chip. DIMM with no parity has 8 standard memory
chips only. Refer to chapter 1 (System Memory section) for
detailed specification of the memory supported by your system
board.
2.2.1 Installing the DIM Module
A DIM module simply snaps into a DIMM socket on the system
board. Pin 1 of the DIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of the
socket.

Hardware Installation
1. Pull the tabs which are at the ends of the socket to the side.
2. Position the DIMM above the socket with the notches in the
module aligned with the keys on the socket.
3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is
completely seated. The tabs will hold the DIMM in place.
2.3 DIP Switch Settings for Processors
(For Factory Use Only)
You cannot overclock an Intel CeleronTM PPGA processor because
its frequency ratio has been fixed by the manufacturer. Therefore
SW1 on the system board is used for factory testing only. The table
on the next page, which shows the supported processors and their
corresponding DIP switch settings, are for reference.
