3. INSTALLATION

3.3 System Memory (DRAM )

3.3.1 DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module)

The QS440VA features three 168-pin DIMM sockets, each supporting 8MB, 16MB,

32MB, 64MB and 256 MB of SDRAM. Memory can be installed in one, two or all

three sockets. Memory size and speed can vary between sockets. Also variable memory

can be combined for a total memory of 8MB to 768MB with variable combination. The

BIOS will automatically detects memory type, size and speed.

3.3.2 Installation Procedure

Step1: Pin 1 of the DIMM must match

pin 1 of the DIMM socket.

Step2: Insert the DIMM module into

the DIMM socket at a 90-degree

angle. If pin 1 of the DIMM module

does not line up with pin 1 of the

socket, the DIMM module will not

insert correctly into the socket.

Step 3: After inserting the DIMM module completely into the socket, push up on the

socket latches securing the DIMM into place.

Be careful not to misfit the DIMM Module into DIMM sockets in the wrong direction.

This module can be inserted into DIMM socket only one way. Please note the “s“ for

pin 1 location.

To release the memory module, push both latches down and carefully rock the module
