2.8 Installing Memory

Please keep in mind that although some memory modules may appear to be high-quality, they may con- tain inferior or substandard parts. The type of memory you choose to install should be checked against the memory compatibility list, which is available from Tyan’s website at http://www.tyan.com

Here are some details of memory installation for this board:

At least one REGISTERED DDR DIMM* must be installed for the system to POST.

Supports 128MB, 256MB, 512MB**, & 1024MB** PC1600/2100 REGISTERED DDR ONLY*.

All installed memory will be automatically detected, so there is no need to set any jumpers.

The motherboard supports up to 3.0GB** of PC1600/2100 REGISTERED DDR memory ONLY*.

Memory Installation Procedure***

Step 1

Line your module up so that the pins fit into the socket. There is only one way your DIMM can fit properly. Make sure that the short row of pins is lined up with the short gap in the DIMM socket, just as the long row of pins should line up with the long gap in the DIMM socket.

Step 2

Insert the DIMM by pushing the module into the socket with even force. Do not insert one end and then the other: install the whole module at once or you might bend the DIMM pins. Make sure the DIMM is securely seated.

*This board supports DDR memory ONLY. Please check that you are using the correct type of memory.

**Not validated at time of print, please check Tyan website for memory compatibility information: http://www.tyan.com

***Manufacturer suggestion: start installation with DIMM (bank) 1 (see p.21)
