2.5 - Installing the Memory

Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Only DDRII-800/667 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 DDRII memory modules.

Key points to note before installing memory:

For optimal dual-channel DDRII operation, always install memory in pairs beginning with DIMM1 and DIMM3. Memory modules of the same type and density are required for dual-channel DDRII operation. Mismatched memory may cause system instability.

Only DDRII 800/667 un-buffered, non-ECC memory modules are supported.

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

Refer to the following table for supported DDRII populations.

(Note: V indicates a populated DIMM slot)
