Install Memory
SDRCB uses Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM). Four DIMM sockets are
available for 3.3Volts (power level), PC100/PC133, Registered and ECC
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) with 128MB,
256MB, 512MB or 1GB combinations . And the total memory size is between
128MB and 4GB.
IMPORTANT
q
As SDRCB has strict memory type and timing requirements. Hence,
before you attend to buy the Registered with ECC DIMM and use in
the SDRCB, please consult your local reseller for memory
suggestion first.
q
Use only Intel
PC133/PC100-compliant Registered with ECC
DIMMs and this motherboard operates at 133/100MHz.It will not
boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict
timing issues involved under this speed.
q
To utilize the chipset’s Error Checking and Correction (ECC)
features, you have to choose the DIMM module with 9 chips
(devices) per side (standard 8 chips (devices)/side plus 1 ECC chip)
and check if the setting is proper in the selection ”DRAM Integrity
Mode” in the selection “Advanced Chipset Setup” in the BIOS
Utility.
q
SDRCB only support PC133/100, Registered with ECC SDRAM .
Unbuffered SDRAM and Non-ECC memory can not be used in the
SDRCB.
q
Since the SDRCB memory bus is synchronized to front side bus
(FSB) speed, it is not allows a user to use PC100 DIMM with
133MHz FSB CPU in the SDRCB. Otherwise system may not able to
bootup. When a user use PC133 DIMM with 100FSB CPU, it will
result in 100MHz memory speed operation.
