5-6 Installing DIMMs
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing
DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage.
Also note that the memory is interleaved to improve
performance (see step 1).
DIMM Installation (See Figure 5-4)
1. Insert either two or four DIMMs as required for the desired system
memory. Two-way interleaved memory requires that memory modules be
installed in pairs (first in the two slots of Bank0 and then in both slots of
Bank if needed).
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the two
notches along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM mod-
ule incorrectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the
slot. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).
Support
The P3TDE6 only supports ECC registered SDRAM memory. PC133 and
PC100 memory are both supported at their respective speeds. However,
the memory speed is synchronized with CPU's front side bus speed.
Therefore, the FSB of the CPU will determine the memory speed.
