III. INSTALLATION (System Memory) III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (SIMM and DIMM) This motherboard supports four 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, or 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. The DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (FPM) (Asymmetric or Symmetric), Enhanced Data Output (EDO), or Burst Enhanced Data Output (BEDO). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each bank contains two of the same size memory modules. A new feature is the support of Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). One slot is available for a 5.0Volt (power level) Enhanced Data Output (EDO) DRAM of either 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128MB. Maximum memory of SIMMs and/or DIMMs must be 384MB or less. Install memory in any or all Banks in combinations as follows: Bank Bank 0 SIMM Slots 1&2 Memory Module 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB 72-pin FPM, EDO, BEDO SIMM Total Memory x2 Bank 1 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB x2 SIMM Slots 3&4 72-pin FPM, EDO, BEDO SIMM Bank 2 DIMM Slot 1 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB x1 168-pin 5V EDO DRAM DIMM Total System Memory (Max 384MB) = IMPORTANT: • The same size and type (FPM, EDO, BEDO) of memory must be installed in pairs so that memory modules are not mixed in each bank. • The DIMM Slot does not support any SDRAM DIMM modules. • The DIMM Slot does not support 3.3V EDO DIMM modules. • Do not use SIMM memory modules with more than 24 chips per module. SIMM memory modules with more than 24 chips exceed the design specifications of the memory subsystem and will be unstable. • Memory speed setup is required through "Auto Configuration" in BIOS Chipset Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE. If both 60ns and 70ns memory are used, you must set Auto Configuration to 70ns. ASUS KN97-X User's Manual 19
