3.3 System Memory Configuration
The AB30/AB30R mainboard has three 168-pin DIMM slots that allow you to
install from 16MB up to 3GB of system memory with SDRAM (Synchronous
DRAM). Each DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) slot can accommodate
16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB and 512MB 3.3V single or double
side SDRAM modules. DIMM slots are arranged in three banks, each
memory bank made of one slot and providing a 64-bit wide data path.
1. Install Memory:
Install memory in any or all of the banks. The 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.
2. Upgrade Memory:
You can easily upgrade the system memory by inserting additional 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 in the
field "Standard CMOS Setup" of BIOS setup program.
