4. Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules to prevent any possible damage 1 Insert each memory module vertically into its slot as follows Install two DIMMs to slots 1A and 2A first then to 1B and 2B Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incorrectly see Figure 2 2 See support information below 2 Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place Note It is highly recommended that you remove the power cord from the system before installing or changing any memory modules Chapter 2 Installation Support The H8SSL i2 supports unbuffered ECC non ECC DDR2 800 667 533 SDRAM Both interleaved and non interleaved single and dual channel memory are sup ported See procedure on following page for installation order Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and type will result in interleaved 128 bit memory which is faster than non interleaved 64 bit memory Maximum memory 8 GB of unbuffered ECC non ECC DDR2 800 667 533 SDRAM Figure 2 2 Side and Top Views of DIMM Installation Notch 4 Notch To Install Insert module vertically and press down until it snaps into place The release tabs should close if they do not you should close them yourself To Remove Use your thumbs to gently push each re lease tab outward to release the DIMM from the slot
