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 Reg/ECC memory modules are
supported.
• All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or
settings need changing.
• The Tempest i5000VS S5372-LC supports up to 16/24GB of memory.
The following chart outlines the suggested rules for populating memory.
Memory Population Rules
Channel
Single Channel
Dual Channel
DIMM6/DIMMA0 X X X X
DIMM5/DIMMA1 X X
DIMM4/DIMMA2 X
DIMM3/DIMMB0 X X X
DIMM2/DIMMB1 X X
DIMM1/DIMMB2 X
For optimal dual channel operations, always install memory in pairs beginning
with DIMM6/DIMMA0 and DIMM3/DIMMB0. One pair of DIMM must be of the
same type of DIMM.
For single channel mode: only one DIMM at DIMM6/DIMMA0. Others must be
in dual channel mode.
