How to Install Memory
You can install from 8 MB to 384 MB of memory in the motherboard DIMM sockets. The board
has DIMM sockets arranged as banks 0, 1, and 2. The motherboard supports the following
memory features:
168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
66 or 100 MHz SDRAM
Non-ECC (64-bit) and ECC (72-bit) memory
3.3 V memory only
Single- or double-sided DIMMs in the following sizes:
DIMM Size Non-ECC Configuration ECC Configuration
8 MB 1 Mbit x 64 1 Mbit x 72
16 MB 2 Mbit x 64 2 Mbit x 72
32 MB 4 Mbit x 64 4 Mbit x 72
64 MB 8 Mbit x 64 8 Mbit x 72
128 MB 16 Mbit x 64 16 Mbit x 72
When adding memory, follow these guidelines:
You can install DIMMs in any of the three banks.
You can use different sizes of DIMMs in different banks.
The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.
For ECC operation to be available, all installed memory must be ECC and you must enable the
ECC Configuration feature in the Setup program (see Chapter 3).
NOTE
All memory components and DIMMs used with the SE440BX motherboard must comply with the
PC SDRAM specifications. These include: the PC SDRAM Specification (memory component
specific), the PC Unbuffered DIMM Specification, and the PC Serial Presence Detect
Specification. You can access these documents through the Internet at:
