System Memory Configuration
Memory Layout
The KP6-LA supports (3) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module) and (4)
72-pin SIMMs (Single In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs can be either EDO
(Enhanced Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM). The 72-pin SIMMs must
be installed in pairs, and DIMMs may be installed using just one chip.
• We only recommend using SDRAM and not mixing SIMM
with DIMM modules.
• Same size and type EDO memory must be installed in pairs
so that memory modules are not mixed in each bank.
• DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or
120MHz (8ns) bus speed.
• If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure
your BIOS to read 60ns.
• When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the
4 clock variety over the 2 clock.
• Fast Page Mode DRAM (FPM) is not supported by the LX
AGPset. Only EDO and SDRAM are supported.
Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations using both
SIMM and DIMM.
Caution: DIMM BANK 2 & SIMM BANK 2 ARE SHARED
This means that if you use SIMM 1&2 you can not use DIMM 1
or if you use DIMM 1 you can not use SIMM 1&2.
