Memory Upgrades
The SBC-MediaGX supports a single 168-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory
Module). If you wish to change the amount of DRAM installed, then you
need to source a standard unbuffered 3.3V SDRAM module, which
conforms to the PC100 specification. The SBC-MediaGX supports 16MB,
32MB, 64MB and 128MB modules.
There are no link settings required to enable the board to support different
memory sizes. The BIOS will automatically detect the memory and
configure the board appropriately. The module should be inserted in the
DIMM1 socket in an ESD safe area and you should be wearing an earth
strap or touching a grounded surface to protect the device. The memory
module is designed to ensure that it can only be plugged in with the correct
orientation. Therefore if the module does not fit, check the key locations
and ensure the memory is the correct type.
Once power is applied to the board the BIOS will automatically configure
the memory, and during the memory check a message will be printed on
the display to show the amount of DRAM found.
