2-3. Installing System Memory

This motherboard provides three 168-pin DIMM sites for memory expansion. The DIMM

sockets support 1Mx64 (8MB), 2Mx64 (16MB), 4Mx64 (32MB), 8Mx64 (64MB), 16Mx64

(128MB), and 32Mx64 (256MB) or double sided DIMM modules. Minimum memory size

is 8MB and maximum memory size is 768MB SDRAM. There are three Memory module

sockets on the system board. (Total six banks)

In order to create a memory array, certain rules must be followed. The following set of rules

allows for optimum configurations.

The memory array is 64 or 72 bits wide. (depending on with or without parity)

Those modules can be populated in any order.

Supports single and double density DIMMS.

Generally, installing SDRAM modules to your motherboard is an easy thing to do. You can

refer to figure 2-5 to see what a 168-pin PC100 SDRAM module looks like.

Unlike installing SIMMs,

DIMMs may be "snapped"

directly into the socket. Note:

Certain DIMM sockets have

minor physical differences. If

your module doesn't seem to

fit, please do not force it into

the socket as you may

damaged your memory module or DIMM socket.

The following procedure will show you how to install a DIMM module into a DIMM socket.

Step 1.

Before you install the memory module, please place the computer power switch in

the

off

position and disconnect the AC power cord from your computer.
