3. HARDWARE SETUP
3.4 System Memory (DIMM)
NOTE: No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing memory.
This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Sockets are
available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Ac-
cess Memory (SDRAM). One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one
row on the motherboard.
Memory speed setup is recommended through SDRAM Configuration in 4.4.1
Chip Configuration.
NOTE: If the total installed memory exceeds 512MB, the system will hang during
startup.
3.4.1 General DIMM Notes
•
For the system CPU bus to operate at 133MHz, use only PC133-compliant
DIMMs.
•
Motherboards support SPD (Serial Presence Detect) DIMMs. This is the memory
of choice for best performance vs. stability.
•
Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128, 256MB; double-sided come in 32,
64, 128, 256, 512MB.
Install memory in any combination as follows:
DIMM Location 168-pin DIMM
Total Memory
Socket 1 (Rows 0&1)
SDRAM 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB x1
Socket 2 (Rows 2&3)
SDRAM 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB x1
Total System Memory (Max 512MB)
