Getting started with your APOLLO

CPU configuration
The APOLLO board has been specifically designed to support a range of Intel Pentium M
and Celeron M mobile processors. The appropriate voltage and speed selections are
configured during the boot process. No user configuration is required.
Installing memory
The APOLLO has one DIMM socket for an unbuffered ECC or non-ECC double data rate
(DDR) SDRAM 184-pin DIMM module. DIMM modules supported are:
•
128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1024MB.
•
PC1600 (200MHz), PC2100 (266MHz) and PC2700 (333MHz).
The APOLLO supports a single 184-pin DIMM module. If your board was supplied
without memory, or if you wish to upgrade your memory, then you need to source an
appropriate module. See
, page
, for details.
No link settings are required to enable the board to support different memory sizes. The
BIOS automatically detects the memory and configures the board appropriately. Always
ensure that the power is switched off before attempting to insert a memory module. The
module should be inserted in an ESD safe area, and you should be wearing an earth
strap or touching a grounded surface to protect the device. The memory module is
designed to ensure that it can only be plugged in with the correct orientation. If the
module does not fit, check the key locations and ensure the memory is the correct type.
To install memory, insert the memory module vertically into the socket. The memory
module and socket are keyed to ensure the correct orientation of the module in the
socket. Once fully inserted into the socket, the module can be pressed down towards the
board. The tabs on the socket automatically latch onto the module and secure it in place.
To remove the memory, gently pull the two tabs sideways. The module releases and can
be removed easily.
Once power is applied to the board, the BIOS automatically configures the memory.
During the memory check, a message is displayed showing the amount of memory found.
