2.4 Configuring the System Memory

PIN1

The DIMM types supported are

SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) only.

This motherboard has three 168 pin

DIMM sockets (Dual-in-line Memory

Module) that allow you to install system

memory up to 512MB.

In case you install SDRAMs on

DIMM2 and DIMM3 at the same time,

it is crucial to identify single/double

side. For this configuration, only

single-side SDRAMs are acceptable.

Warning: This motherboard does not support Registered

SDRAMs and EDO DRAMs.

Warning: If you install two double-side SDRAMs, the possible

combinations are DIMM1&DIMM2 or DIMM1&DIMM3.

Warning: The maximum of 512MB can be implemented by

installing two 256MB SDRAM modules.

I. Size: single side, 1Mx64 (8MB), 2Mx64 (16MB), 4Mx64 (32MB), 8Mx64

(64MB), 16Mx64 (128MB), and double side, 1Mx64x2 (16MB), 2Mx64x2

(32MB), 4Mx64x2 (64MB), 8Mx64x2 (128MB).

Tip: Here is a trick to check if your DIMM is single-side or

double-side -- if there are traces connected to golden finger

pin 114 and pin 129 of the DIMM, the DIMM is probably

double-side; otherwise, it is single-side. The following figure

is for your reference.
