(5) Installing System Memory
The motherboard provides four 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 1GB
SDRAM.
There are four Memory module sockets on the system board.(Total eight banks)
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:
