3.3 System Memory Configuration
The AK10 mainboard has three 168-pin DIMM sockets that allow you to
install from 16MB up to 1.5GB of system memory with PC66/100/133
SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) and VCM (Virtual Channel Memory) SDRAM.
Each DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) socket can accommodate 16MB,
32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB and 512MB 3.3V single or double side 64 or
72-bit wide data path SDRAM and VCM SDRAM modules.
The AK10 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, the AK10 provides both the
error checking and the correction of the data.
Install Memory:
Install memory in any or all of the banks and in any combination, shown as
follows :
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
and VCM SDRAM modules in available DIMM banks. The total system
memory is calculated by simply adding up the memory in all DIMM banks.
After upgrade, the new system memory value will automatically be computed
and displayed by the BIOS Standard CMOS Setup menu.
