2.18 – Mounting the Motherboard
Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary motherboard
support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are gold in color. Usually, the chassis
manufacturer will pre-install the support studs.
-
Memory Type
: Tiger GC-SL S2727 only supports Registered DDR memory with ECC.
Non-Registered or non-ECC DDR memory modules are NOT supported. The board supports
single DIMM operation. Hence, the minimum memory module is one memory DIMM to allow
system to boot up.
-
CPU Front-Side Bus Speed Match
: The S2727 Tiger GC-SL memory frequency is
synchronized with both CPU and onboard memory controller front-side bus, which means the
memory module speed rate should match the CPU FSB. For example, with an Intel Xeon
533MHz Front-Side Bus (FSB) processor, the memory only supports DDR266/PC2100 Registered
ECC DIMM modules.
Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they
should be installed.
TIP:
Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely than
plastic standoffs.
