Installing System Memory
The mainboard provides two 168-pin DIMM sites for memory expansion.. The
DIMM socket supports 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 256 MB.
There are three banks of Memory on the system board.
In order to create a memory array, certain rules must be followed. The following
set of rules allows for optimum configurations.
l
The memory array is 64 or 72 bits wide. (Without parity or with parity)
l
Those modules can be populated in any order.
l
Support single and double density DIMMS.
The following is the valid memory configuration:
Bank Memory Module Total Memory
Bank0
(DIMM1)
8MB,16MB, 32MB,64MB,
128MB 2
8MB ~ 128MB
Bank1
(DIMM2)
8MB,16MB, 32MB,64MB,
128MB 2
8MB ~ 128MB
Total System Memory
=
8MB ~ 256MB
l
If DRAM module size will increase in the feature , the supported
memory size will increase as well according to the available DRAM
module on the market .
