be populated on the board. Standard fast page mode (FPM), Extended Data Out
(EDO) and synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) memory are all supported by this
mainboard.
The suggested DRAM modules to use on this mainboard is shown as following. :
(1) FPM and EDO memory :
512Kbx32
(2MB)
,
1Mbx32
(4MB)
,
2Mbx32
(8MB)
,
4Mbx32
(16MB)
,
8Mbx32
(32MB)
,
16Mbx32
(64MB)
.
(2) SDRAM memory
:
1Mbx64
(8MB)
,
2Mbx64
(16MB)
,
4Mbx64
(32MB)
,
8Mbx64
(64MB)
,
16Mbx64
(128MB)
.
In order to make the mainboard working properly, at least one bank of memory have
to be installed on the board. The “BANK” is the definition of the memory subsystem
addressing. Please refer to the following for the definition of “BANK”
BANK0:
DIMM 1
BANK1:
DIMM 2
BANK2:
DIMM 3
This mainboard supports EDO, FPM and SDRAM types of memory module. When
installing memory modules, you don’t have to start from Bank0 first. Basically, the
memory can be populated on the board in any order and the system board will detect
the memory installed on the board automatically.
So you can install a DIMM module onto one of the DIMM sockets and then you may
upgrade your system memory by plugging in another DIMM module in one of the
rest DIMM sockets afterward and need not to worry about the sequence.
Note
: You can use either PC-66 or PC-100 DIMM module on this mainboard. In order to
make sure that the DIMM module will be working properly on this mainboard,
please refer to page 3-22 for the jumper settings of JP7 and JP8.
