2.8 – Installing the Memory
Before attempting to install any type of memory, make sure that the memory you have is
compatible with the motherboard as well as the processor. For example, while PC1600 DDR
SDRAM modules are compatible with all DDR based motherboards, they will not work if you are
required to run the motherboard and processor at 133MHz. For this, PC2100 DDR modules are
required. Critically important is whether you're using the recommended memory for the current
board you have. For this information, please check TYAN's website at:
The following diagram shows the types of RAM modules you may encounter depending on your
board:
Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Trinity i845DDR:
At least ONE DDR SDRAM module mus t be installed for the system to turn on and
POST (power on self test).
128MB, 256MB, and 512MB , 1024MB PC2100/PC1600 DDR SDRAM memory modules
are supported.
All installed memory will be automatically detected so there is no need to set any
jumpers or settings.
The Trinity i845DDR supports up to 2GB of memory.
