2.8 Installing Memory
Please keep in mind that although some memory modules may appear to be high-quality, they
may contain inferior or substandard parts. The type of memory you choose to install should be
checked against the memory compatibility list, which is available from Tyan’s website at
http://www.tyan.com .
Here are some details of memory installation for this board:

-

-
All installed memory will be automatically detected.
-
The motherboard supports up to 512MB of PC133 unregistered/unbuffered SDRAM
memory.
Memory Installation Procedure
Step1: Line your module up so that the pins fit into the socket. There is only one way your DIMM
can fit properly. Make sure that the short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM
socket, just as the long row of pins should line up with the long gap in the DIMM socket.
Step2: Insert the DIMM by pushing the module into the socket with even force Do not insert one
end and then the other: install the whole module at once or you might bend the DIMM pins. Make
sure the DIMM is securely seated.
NOTE
Your memory modules may not look like those in the above diagram; they are
used simply as examples.
Look the DIMM into place by pushing the clips back on either end of the socket onto the notches
in the ends of the DIMM (see pictures above details).
