3.4. DRAM INSTALLATION

The main board can be installed with 8 / 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 MB 168 pins DIMM module DRAM, and the DRAM speed must be 50 or 60 ns for EDO & 67MHz for SDRAM when system bus speed is set to 66MHz. The DRAM memory system on main board consists of bank 0 and bank 1 .

Since 168 pins DIMM module is 64 bits width, therefore 1 piece of DIMM module may match a 64 bits system. The total memory size is 8 MB ~ 256MB SDRAM. The DRAM installation position refer to Figure 3.1, and notice the Pin 1 of DIMM module must match with the Pin 1 of DIMM socket. Insert the DRAM DIMM module into the DIMM socket at Vertical angle. If there is a wrong direction of Pin 1, the DRAM DIMM module could not be inserted into socket completely.

3.5. CPU SPEED SETUP

The system bus speed can be set to 66.6MHz form the jumper (JP2,JP3,JP4). The user can change the DIP SWITCH (SW) selection to set up the CPU speed for different processors. The CPU speed must match with the frequency RATIO and Front Side Bus (FSB) speed. It will cause system hanging up if the frequency RATIO and FSB Speed do not match with the CPU.
