System Memory Configuration
Memory Layout
The EP-3VBA supports (3) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module).
The DIMMs can be either EDO (Enhanced Data Out) or SDRAM
(Synchronized DRAM).
•
DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or
125MHz (8ns) bus speed.
•
If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure
your BIOS to read 60ns.
•
When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the
4 clock variety over the 2 clock.
Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations using both
SIMM and DIMM.
