2.6 - Installing the Memory
Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with
the motherboard and processor. Only DDR2-667/533 Fully Buffer DIMM (FB
DIMM) modules are required. 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 FB-DIMM memory modules.
Key points to note before installing memory:
• Only DDR2 667/533 FB-DIMM memory modules are supported.
• All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or
settings need changing.
• The Tempest i5000PX S5380 supports up to 16GB of memory.
The following chart outlines the suggested rules for populating memory.
