Memory

The mainboard provides 2 slots for 240-pin DDR2 DIMM, which supports the

memorysize up to 2GB.Since DDR2 modules are not interchangeable with DDR1 and
the DDR2 standard is not backward compatible, you should always install DDR2 memory
module in the DDR2 slot (DIMM1~DIMM2). Otherwise, you are not able to boot up your
system and your mainboard might be damaged.

DIMM1~2

Introduction to DDR2 SDRAM

DDR2 is a new technology of memory module, and its speed is the top limit of
current DDR1 technology. DDR2 uses a 1.8V supply for core and I/O voltage,
compared to 2.5V for DDR1, and requires 28% less power than DDR1 chips. DDR2
truly is the future of memory, but will require some changes as the technology is not
backwardly compatible and only motherboards specifically designed for DDR2
memory will be able to support these chips.

DDR2 incorporates new features at the chip level that give it better signal
integrity, thereby enabling higher clock speeds.

DDR2 modules have 240 pins, versus 184 pins on a DDR1 module, and the
length of DDR2 module is 5.25”. DDR2 modules have smaller and tighter spaced pins.
The height of DDR2 modules varies, but they will typically be less than 1.3” in height.

2-8

Hardware Setup

DIMM Module Combination

Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to
a maximum size of 1GB, and do not support single 1GB RAM. Users can install
either single- or double-sided modules to meet their own needs. Please note that each
DIMM can work respectively for single-channel DDR2, but there are some
rules while using dual-channel DDR2. Users may install memory modules of different
type and density on different-channel DDR DIMMs. However, the same size, type and
density memory modules are necessary while using dual-channel DDR, or instability

may happen. Please refer to the following table for detailed dual-channel DDR. Other
combination not listed below will function as single-channel DDR.

Important

1. Hetis 800 DIMM Module do not support single 1GB RAM.

2. Each DIMM slot supports up to a maximum size of 1GB.

Slot Memory Module Total Memory

DDR 1
(Bank 0 & 1) S/D 128MB~1GB (D)

Maximum System Memory Supported 128MB~2GB (D)

S: Single Side D: Double Side

Installing DDR2 Modules

1. The DDR2 DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The Module will
only fit in the right orientation.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until
the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket.

3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

video input/output.
S-Video (Super-Video, sometimes referred to as Y/C Video, or component video) is a
video signal transmission in which the luminance signal and the chrominance signal are
transmitted separately to achieve superior picture clarity. The luminance signal (Y)
carries brightness information, which defines the black and white portion, and the
chrominance signal (C) carries color information, which defines hue and saturation. An
S-Video connection brings better video quality than a composite/RCA connection.
