CHAPTER 2 MEMORY
CONFIGURATION
2.1 SYSTEM MEMORY
The Mainboard lets user upgrade system memory via SIMM sockets on the
mainboard. On-board memory
is located in three banks: Bank 0, Bank 1
and Bank
2.
Two SIMM sockets are provided in each bank. User can install either 1M,
4M,8M , 16M, 32M, 64M or 128M SIMM in each bank.
Note: The type of SIMMllSIMM2 must be same.
The type
of SIMM31SIMM4 mustbe same.
The type
of SIMM51SIMM6 mustbe same.
Table 1 provides some typical DRAM configurations supported by the
mainboard.

3.2 CONNECTION THE MOTHERBOARD
Once the mainboard have been tastened into the system case, the next step
is to connect the internal cables. The internal cables are wire leads with
plastic female connectors that attach to the connectors. The mainboard
connectors have varying numbers of pins and are the points of contact
between the mainboard and other parts of the computer.
A description of each connector and its connector pins follows. See Fig. 3
for the location of the connectors on the mainboard.
Note: Before making connectors on the board, make sure that power to
the system is turned off.

Different colour of jumper caps (mini-jumpers) are used on the board to
represent different usage of thejumpers:
