2.21 – Installing the Memory
Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you have is compatible with
the motherboard as well as the processor. For example, while PC1600 DDR modules are
compatible with all DDR based motherboards, they will not work if you are required to run the
motherboard and processor buses at 533MHz. For this, PC2100 DDR (DDR266) modules are
required. For important memory information, please check Tyan’s web site at:

for
recommendations.
The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on your
board:
Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Trinity GC-SL:

to turn on and POST (Power-On-Self-Test)

are supported
•
All installed memory will be automatically detected - no need to set any jumpers
