2.8 - Installing the Memory
Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with
the motherboard and processor. Check the TYAN Web site at: www.tyan.com
for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard.
The following diagram shows common types of DDR3 memory modules.
Key points to note before installing memory:
• Automatic memory bus frequency setting based on memory configuration
and memory SPD information (to be adjusted by BIOS)
• Supports un-buffered ECC/Non-ECC modules
• Supports ECC Registered DDR3-800/1066/1333 memory modules
• All memory must be of the same type and density
