Tiger i7320 S5350

Chapter 2: Board Installation

2.6.1 Installing Memory

Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. DDR 266/333 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 memory modules.

Key points to note before installing memory into Tiger i7320:

Always install memory beginning with DIMM4

128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB* Registered ECC/Non-ECC PC2700/PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory modules are supported

All installed memory will be automatically detected.

The Tiger i7320 S5350 supports up to 32GB* of memory.

Registered ECC and non-ECC Memory is supported.

Either single or dual-rank modules are supported.

Memory modules of the same type and density are required for dual-channel DDR operation. Mismatched memory may cause system instability.

Note

Intel E7320 chipset specification lists a limitation of 8 banks of DDR333 memory. However, by design the Tiger i7320 supports up to 16 banks of DDR333 memory. Please note that this a feature of Tyan’s breakthrough engineering design, and similar memory support may not be present on competitor products that use the Intel E7320 chipset
