Installing and removing RAM
The mainboard includes three sockets for 168-pin, 3.3-volt SDRAM
DIMMs. You can install 32MB, 64MB, or 128MB DIMMs. The
maximum total memory supported is 384MB.
The mainboard supports DIMMs with latency times of 10ns, 12ns and
15ns. (iDOT.com recommends that you use 10ns DIMMS.) ECC
memory and parity check are also supported, but are not required.
Notes
Do not use FPM or EDO memory if you already use
SDRAM memory.
Do not use the SIMM bank and DIMM 1 together.
Check the iDOT.com Web site for qualified memory suppliers.
Before making DRAM upgrades, verify the type and speed of
currently installed RAM. Installing mixtures of RAM types other
than those described in this manual will have unpredictable
results.
