It is usually the largest and most obvious code on the board. Use that code to download the motherboard manual from the Internet.

In the manual you can see what memory it takes, (184 pin DIMM's or 240 pin) and how many memory slots there are on the motherboard. It will also tell you the maximum memory you can put in the system.
