Adding System Memory

There are some requirements you must follow if you want to
install system memory. The memory subsystem has three 168-
pin DIMM sockets which function independently. This main-
board supports both EDO DRAM and SDRAM (Synchronous
DRAM) modules. You can use module sizes from 8MB to 128MB,
either single or double-sided. The total supported memory ca-
pacity for this mainboard is 256MB.
If your mainboard is already installed in a system, it will have
some amount of memory installed on the board. You can tell
how much by checking the configuration screen that appears
when the computer is starting up. With some memory installed,
there may be one or two sockets available to add additional
memory.

Memory Configurations

You can install any combination of module sizes as long as
you follow these requirements:
• All modules must be 3.3–Volt
• All modules should have the same operating speed,
e.g. 60ns (nanoseconds)
Other than these requirements, there is no limitation on the
variety of combinations, so they are not listed here. We recom-
mend using one type of DRAM, either EDO or Synchronous.
SDRAM is faster than EDO.
Note: It is possible to install more memory than the board
supports. Do not install more than 256MB on this mainboard,
the system will ignore additional memory.
