pin 1.8-Volt DDR2 400 Registered ECC DIMM modules. The DDR2-400 memory modules can be
using 256Mb, 512Mb and 1Mb memory chips. DDR-I or Unbuffered DDR memory modules are

Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your Thunder i7525 (S2676):
•
128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB registered ECC DDR2 memory modules are
supported
•
All installed memory will be automatically detected - no need to set any jumpers
•
The Thunder i7525 (S2676) supports up to 8GB of memory
•
You can install either single- or double-sided modules on this board. Each DIMM can
work respectively for single-channel mode and dual-channel mode. Please note that the
same type and density memory modules are necessary while using dual-channel,
otherwise it may cause system instability.
Please refer to the following table memory configuration.
NOTE:
While using ECC type memory, it will take longer time to post. Due to the manner in which it
counts the memory and has to write zero's to every bit of the stick before progressing through the
POST.
3.5 – Memory Installation Procedure
When installing memory modules, make sure the modules align properly with the memory socket.
There should be keys (small indents) on your memory modules that fit according to the keys in the
memory socket. DDR modules and sockets have only one key, which is slightly near the center of
the module/socket. The method of installing memory modules is detailed in the following
diagrams.
