Installing DDR Modules
1. The DDR 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.

You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly
inserted in the socket.

1. Dual-channel DDR works ONLY in the 3 combinations listed in the
table above.
2. Due to the South Bridge resource deployment, the system density
will only be detected up to 3+ GB (not to full 4GB) when each DIMM
is installed with an 1GB memory module.
