Installing or Replacing the Memory Module
Note: If you decide to replace the memory, observe the precautions in 'Before You Begin'
By default, the CC9-SAMBA comes fully equipped and tested with a DDR SD-RAM memory module.
So normally there should be no need to install a memory module.
The CC9-SAMBA requires a PC1600/2100/2700 (200/266/333MHz) DDR SDRAM SO-DIMM module.
It is highly recommended that Serial Presence Detect (SPD) SO-DIMMs be used, since this allows the
chipset to accurately configure the memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and
reliability may be impacted.
A replacement memory module must match the 200-pin SO-DIMM form factor (known from
Notebook PCs), 2.5V, 200/266/333MHz, unbuffered, non-ECC style. Suitable modules are available up
to 1GB. The i855GME supports modules of up to a maximum of 13 address lines (A0...A12). Memory
modules organized by more than13 address lines are not suitable.
Replacement of the Battery
When your system is turned off, a battery maintains the voltage to run the time-of-day clock and to
keep the values in the CMOS RAM. The rechargeable battery is soldered to the CC9-SAMBA. For
replacement, the old battery must be desoldered, and the new one soldered. We suggest that you
send back the board to EKF for battery replacement.
Warning
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type. Do not expose a battery to fire.
