CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Note: Some CMOS RAMs require a different procedure:
1. Short jumper JP1.
2. Turn on system
3. Turn off the system
4. Remove JP1 jumper.
5. Turn on power again.
6. Reset BIOS.
System Memory Installation: SIMM1-SIMM4
The system board provides four 72-pin SIMM sockets which are
numbered from SIMM1 to SIMM4. The system board supports
memory sizes from 8MB to 512MB using 4MB, 8MB, 16MB,
32MB, 64MB, and 128MB DRAM modules. It supports both Fast
Page Mode (FP), Extended Data Output Mode (EDO), and Burst
Extended Data Output Mode (BEDO), with symmetric or
asymmetric row/colum address.
DRAM Population Rules
In order to create a memory array, certain rules must be followed.
The following set of rules allows for optimum configuration.
1. DRAM modules must be populated in pairs; the
memory array is 64-or-72-bits wide. (64-bit
modules are no parity.)
