MAIN Chart
Filling out a KEEPER label
- If there are any SDRAM slots, count and circle the correct number
- Do the same for DDR slots
- (Some systems have both DDR and SDRAM slots.)
- For AMD chips:
- Circle AMD in the "Proc Type" section
- Write the processor model number in the "Processor Information" area
- For Intel and other chips:
- Circle the processor type (or write next to "Other")
- Write the processor speed in the "Processor Information" area
- If there are any SATA connectors on the motherboard circle the appropriate number
- If there are any IDE connectors on the motherboard circle the appropriate number
- If the system can take more than one processor, check the Multi Proc Capable box
- If the system has a dual core processor, check the Dual Core box
- If the system did not POST successfully, check the Did not POST box
- If there are any PCIe slots, circle PCI-e
- If there is an AGP slot, circle AGP
- Remember to put your initials in the appropriate box
