Installing DRAM SIMM
IMPORTANT: The ASUS PCI-DA2100 requires a minimum of 2 MBytes of
DRAM in one SIMM (with or without parity function) installed in SIMM socket
to operate. The controller is normally delivered without any DRAM installed.
Following are guidelines with regards to DRAM:
•
Use 72-pin 60 ns DRAM or 60 ns EDO RAM SIMM module. EDO RAM is
recommended to improve the performance.
•
DRAM with or without parity is auto-detected by ASUS PCI-DA2100, but
DRAM with parity is recommended for security.
•
Minimum DRAM required is 2 MBytes installed in SIMM socket.
•
Minimum of 4 MBytes is suggested for RAID-3 and RAID-5 operation.
•
ASUS PCI-DA2100 supports 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB DRAM SIMM
module. Maximum DRAM size is 32 MBytes.
To install DRAM SIMM:
1 Power off the system and disconnect the power connector.
2 Insert the DRAM SIMM paralleled with the key to the left (1). Then, push
towards the back until the hooks on both sides of the socket snap into place (2)
as shown below.
