Memory Configuration - QDI Advance 5/133E Manual

Installation Instruction
Setting the jumper JAV as opened(default), meanwhile disabling the "Flash Write Protect"
item from "BIOS Features Setup" in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup, allows you to flash the
BIOS to the Flash ROM.
The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) system information such as the CPU type/speed,
memory size, and expansion cards will be detected by the onboard BIOS and stored in the
flash ROM. Whenever the system hardware configuration is changed, DMI information will
be updated automatically. However, setting jumper JAV as closed makes flashing BIOS and
updating DMI information impossible. Therefore, set JAV as opened when changing the
system hardware configuration, or the error message "Unkown Flash Type" will be dis-
played on the screen, and DMI information update will be fail.
Refer to page 17 for the two choices to implement BIOS ProtectEasy.

Memory Configuration

This mainboard provides three 168 pin 3.3V un-buffered DIMM sockets to support a flexible
memory size ranging from 8MB up to 512MB for SDRAM or from 8MB up to 768MB for EDO
memory. Both PC66/PC100/PC133MHz SDRAM with SPD and 66MHz EDO DIMMs are
supported. The following set of rules allows optimum configurations.
Using the serial presence detect (SPD) data structure, programmed into an E
l
the DIMM, the BIOS can determine the SDRAM' s size and speed.
The DRAM Timing register, which provides the DRAM speed grade control for the entire
l
memory array, must be programmed to use the timing of the slowest DRAMs installed.
Possible SDRAM DIMM memory sizes are 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB in
l
each DIMM socket.
Possible EDO DIMM memory sizes are 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB in each DIMM
l
socket.
Processor with 66MHz FSB should be paired with PC66, PC100, PC133 SDRAM
l
processor with 100MHz FSB should be paired with either PC100 or PC133 SDRAM,
processor with 133MHz FSB should be paired only with PC133 SDRAM.
