DDR DIMM Modules: DIMMB1/ DIMMB2/
DIMMA1
For Dual-channel DDR (128-bit) high performance, at least 2 or
more DIMM modules must be installed. (It has to be the
combination of DIMMA and DIMMB.) With only one DIMM installed,
the memory performs only at 64-bit.
DRAM Access Time: 2.5V Unbuffered DDR 200/266/333/400 MHz Type
required.
DRAM Type: 64MB/ 128MB/ 256MB/ 512MB/ 1GB DIMM Module (184 pin)

⌦The list shown above for DRAM configuration is only for reference.
How to install a DIMM Module
1. The DIMM socket has a “ Plastic
Safety Tab”, and the DIMM memory
module has an “Asymmetrical notch”, so
the DIMM memory module can only fit
into the slot in one direction.
2. Push the tabs out. Insert the DIMM
memory modules into the socket at a
90-degree angle, then push down
vertically so that it will fit into the place.
3. The Mounting Holes and plastic tabs
should fit over the edge and hold the
DIMM memory modules in place.

Jumpers, Headers, Connectors & Slots
Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/ IDE2
The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO
Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA / 33/ 66/ 100/ 133 functionality. It has two
HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (secondary).
The IDE connectors can connect a master and a slave drive, so you can connect
up to four hard disk drives. The first hard drive should always be connected to
IDE1.
Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1
The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector that supports 360K,
720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports the
provided floppy drive ribbon cables.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI1-5
This motherboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards, which has,
supplanted the older ISA bus standard in most ports. This PCI slot is designated
as 32 bits.
Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1
Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard supports
video cards for PCI slots, but it is also equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port
(AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for improved video
efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.
