Quick Reference
9 Installing the Memory Modules
CAUTIONS
Insert a Continuity RIMM (CRIMM) in every unused memory socket or the
board will not boot.
High insertion force is required to install the RIMMs. Use caution when
inserting the RIMMs to prevent the board from flexing.
✏ NOTE
RIMMs must be installed in identical pairs (same speed, size, and
density).
Install RIMMs into Bank 0 first. If the desired memory configuration has been
achieved, insert CRIMMs into Bank 1.
If memory is to be installed in bank 1, the RIMM modules to be installed must
be identical in size and density to each other, and match the speed of the RIMM
modules in bank 0. The RIMM modules do not, however, need to match those
in bank 0 in size and density. For example, if bank 0 has two 128 MB RIMMs
of PC800 RDRAM, bank 1 would require PC800 RDRAM also, however, any
other supported RIMM modules such as 64 MB or 192 MB could be used.
