Hardware Setup
Memory Configuration
The mainboard supports two banks of
72-pin SIMM, EDO DRAM, and
two strips of 3.3V/5V Unbuffered DIMM.
The mainboard requires
SIMM of at least 70ns access time.
The mainboard supports
from 4 to 128 Mbytes
with no other restrictions
on memory configurations. You can install SIMM in any combination
without having to rely on a memory configuration table. Memory
configuration is thus Ò
Table-Free
Ó in any SIMM bank. You must install
two strips of SIMM modules to complete a bank.
RAM Bank Installation Notice
Due to the RAS line share architecture of VX chipset, the possible
combination of DIMM/SIMM in this mainboard are as one of the
followings:
1.
In Bank 0, Bank 1, or Bank 0 & Bank 1
2.
In DIMM 1, DIMM 2, or DIMM 1 & DIMM 2
3,
In Bank 0 & DIMM 2
4.
In Bank 1 & DIMM 1
DIMM Voltage Setting
You must check the voltage of your DIMM before you install it. See
Jumper 37 to configure the proper voltage for DIMM.
