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-DIMMReg/ECC memory modules are supported.

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

The Tempest i5000VS S5372-LC supports up to 16/24GB of memory.

The following chart outlines the suggested rules for populating memory.

For optimal dual channel operations, always install memory in pairs beginning with DIMM6/DIMMA0 and DIMM3/DIMMB0. One pair of DIMM must be of the same type of DIMM.

For single channel mode: only one DIMM at DIMM6/DIMMA0. Others must be in dual channel mode.
