Installing the D5CUB
Introduction
This section explains how to install the D5CUB system
board, memory, CPU and peripherals.
WARNING: Before installing or removing any peripherals
or components, make sure you have a clear work space and
that you adhere to all anti-static precautions described in
Section 1. Micronics recommends that only trained techni-
cians install and configure the system board.
Damage which occurs to the board while adding or removing
peripherals or components may void the warranty. If prob-
lems arise while installing peripherals, contact the computer
dealer where you purchased the peripheral or Micronics’
Technical Support Department.
System Memory Support
The flexibility of the D5CUB is augmented by its sup-
port for Error Checking and Correction (ECC), Ex-
tended Data Out (EDO) DRAM memory and Fast Page
Mode (FPM) DRAM memory. The D5CUB allows vast
memory capability without worrying about memory
errors. It does this by providing ECC which enables
parity checking to detect and correct memory errors.
EDO memory is designed to keep data available to the
processor for an extended period of time. The EDO
memory support extends the performance of conven-
tional DRAM memory. The result is an improvement in
memory-access performance on the D5CUB system
board.
