Memory Error

1. Check if the memory DDR DIMM module is

inserted into DDR DIMM socket properly.

2. Check if different speed memory modules are

mixed and used in the SDVIC. Verify the
BIOS setup is configuration for the fastest
s peed of DDR RAM used. RIOWORKS
recommend always use the same speed
RAM in the system.

3. Make sure your memory module(s) is

compliant with PC2100 or PC1600 Spec.
