These sockets support 64Mbit, 128Mbit, and 256Mbit Direct RDRAM technologies.
IMPORTANT
1.
The memory configuration of channel A (RIMMA1 and RIMMA2) and chan-
nel B (RIMMB1 and RIMMB2) must be identical (see below).
2.
C-RIMMs (Continuity RIMM) must be used to complete the sockets that are
not populated by RDRAMs. A C-RIMM is necessary to avoid breaking the
signal lines, which are a serial connection in a Rambus interface, such as
used in this motherboard. This assures the electrical integrity of a Rambus
interface.
3.
When C-RIMMs are required, it is recommended that they be inserted into
RIMMA2 and RIMMB2.
