How to install SDRAM on MIC-3376 series?
Solution:
The MIC-3376 provides two 168-pin DIMM sockets. Each socket accepts either 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 MB SDRAM. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory capacity between 16 and 512 MB. Since the MIC-3376 can operate at 66 or 100 MHz, we recommend using PC100-compliant DIMMs. To enable the chipset's Error Checking and Correction (ECC) function, please use DIMMs which support the ECC function. The procedure for installing DIMMs appears below. Please follow these steps carefully. 1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off. 2. Install the DIMM module. Install the DIMM so that its gold pins point down into the DIMM socket. 3. Slip the DIMM into the socket and carefully fit the bottom of the card against the connectors. 4. Gently push the DIMM into the socket, keeping the DIMM perpendicular to the CPU card, until the clips on the ends of the DIMM sockets snap into place. 5. Check to ensure that the DIMM is correctly seated and all connec-tor contacts touch. The DIMM should not move around in its socket. NOTE: The DIMM modules can only fit into sockets one way, in accordance with the keyed notches along the bottom edge of the modules. Their gold pins must point down into the DIMM socket.
