2-4 Installing RIMMs
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing RIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage.
RIMM Installation (See Figure 2-2)
1.
Insert a pair of RDRAM modules (of the same type and the same size)
in the two slots of Bank 0 first (Figure 2-2B). If needed, insert
another pair of RDRAMs (of the same type and same size) into both
slots of Bank1 (Figure 2-2A).
However, if you only install two RDRAM modules on the two slots of
Bank0, then, you need to populate both slots of Bank1with two
"Continuous Memory Modules" to close the signal loop in order to
meet the requirement Rambus Interface (Figure 2.2B). See "RAMBUS
Support" below for details on supported memory.
2. Insert each RDRAM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the
two notches along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the
RDRAM incorrectly.
3. Gently press down on the RDRAMs module until it snaps into place.
4. The P4STA will support two (2) or four (4) (600 MHz or 800 MHz)
modules of 184-pin RDRAM with a total up to 2GB MB of system
memory. Both ECC (Error Checking Correction) and Parity Checking
are supported. PC133 and PC100 memory are also fully supported
at their respective speeds.
RAMBUS Support (Important!)
The Memory Controller Hub (MCH) enables the use of RAMBUS in the
RIMM slots on the P4STA. This hub supports both ECC and non-
ECC type memory. Check the Memory ECC Mode BIOS setting to
enable the use of ECC. (See Section 1-2 for more on the MCH.)
