C.9.2 DIMMs
C.9.2.1 Speed and Timing
The Sun Blade 150 system uses PC100 compliant SDRAM DIMMs. The motherboard
can support up to 4 Gbytes with four DIMM slots. The CPU can address 4 Gbytes of
memory.
Note – Always remove and replace DIMMs in order, beginning with the DIMM
closest to the edge of the motherboard (
FIGURE C-2). The system will not function
properly with only three installed DIMMS. You must install either one DIMM, two
DIMMs, or four DIMMs.
Note – The maximum main memory is 512 Mbyte per slot.
The DIMMs comply with the following parameters:
