Installing the Memory
The IB898 board supports one DDR3L memory socket for a maximum
total memory of 4GB in DDR3L memory type.
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR3L modules, locate the memory slot on the board and
perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR3L module so that the key of the DDR3L module
aligned with that on the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR3L module in an upright position until the clips
of the slot close to hold the DDR3L module in place when the
DDR3L module touches the bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DDR3L module, press the clips with both hands.
** Channel-A slot must be installed with
memory module for booting up**
