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 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 DDR2 memory modules.
Key points to note before installing memory:
• Only DDR2-667/533 memory modules are supported.
• All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or
settings need changing.
• The Tempest i5100X S5375 supports up to 32GB of memory.
• All memory must be of the same type and density.
The following chart outlines the suggested rules for populating memory.
NOTE: Only DIMM1, DIMM2, DIMM5 and DIMM6 slots support Dual Rank memory
modules.
