2.6 - Installing the Memory

Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2-667/533 Fully Buffer DIMM (FB DIMM) modules are required. Check the TYAN Web site at: www.tyan.com for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard.

The following diagram shows common types of FB-DIMM memory modules.

Key points to note before installing memory:

Only DDR2 667/533 FB-DIMMmemory modules are supported.

All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or settings need changing.

The Tempest i5000PX S5380 supports up to 16GB of memory.

The following chart outlines the suggested rules for populating memory.
