2-6 Installing/Removing the DIMM Modules
SUPER P6SLA/P6SLE can accommodate a maximum of 768 MB
EDO or 384 MB SDRAM. Note: SDRAM requires a minimum of
one bank.
There are three types of EDO and SDRAM DIMM modules: x4, x8
and x16. If you are using the x4 type, you can populate the DIMM
slots with either 4 single-sided memory modules or 2 double-
sided memory modules. For memory configurations of 512 MB
EDO DIMMs or higher, it is recommended to use the x8 or x16
type of memory. It is not recommended to mix EDO DIMM mod-
ules with SDRAM DIMM modules.
There are no jumpers needed to configure the on-board memory.
Memory timing requires 70ns or faster for EDO memory. Refer to
Figure 2-7 and the instructions below for installing or removing
DIMM modules.
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing the
DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage.
DIMM Module Installation
1. Insert DIMM modules in Bank 0 through Bank 2 as required
for the desired system memory.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its socket. Pay
attention to the two notches to prevent inserting the DIMM at a
wrong position. The component side of the DIMM module
must face the CPU socket. The latter statement is applicable
for DIMMs with components on one side only.
3. Gently press the DIMM module until it snaps upright into place
in the socket.
Removing DIMM Modules
1. Remove DIMM modules in any order.
2. Gently push the edge of the sockets to the side to release the
module. Remove one side of the DIMM module first, and then
the other side, to prevent breaking the socket.
