3.3 System Memory Configuration
The mainboard has two 168-pin DIMM slots that allow you to install
from 16MB up to 1GB of system memory with PC100/133 SDRAM (Synchro-
nous DRAM). Each DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) slot can accom-
modate 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB of 3.3V single or
double side 64 or 72-bit wide data path SDRAM modules.
The mainboard supports data integrity algorithms including EC (Error
Checking) and ECC (Error Checking and Correction) in the memory array. In
EC mode, single and multiple bit error detection is provided. In ECC mode,
when the memory is being read from DRAM, provides both error
checking and correction of the data.
Install Memory:
Install memory in any or all of the slots and in any combination shown as fol-
lows.
Note:
You do not need to set any jumper to configure memory since the
BIOS utility can detect the system memory automatically. You can
check the total system memory value in the BIOS Standard CMOS
Setup menu.
Upgrade Memory:
You can easily upgrade the system memory by inserting additional SDRAM
modules in available DIMM slots. The total system memory is calculated by
simply adding up the memory in all DIMM slots. After upgrade, the new
system memory value will automatically be computed and displayed by the
BIOS Standard CMOS Setup menu.
