5–2 Memory and Microprocessor Configuration
Upgrading SDRAM Memory
Note: The table above lists some basic memory configurations for reference.
There are additional configurations not listed and BIOS will detect memory
sizes automatically.
•1Mb x 72 is not supported because required minimum memory density is 32MB.
•Each DIMM must be 168-pin unbuffered version with frequency of 100MHz
•All DIMMs in a common bank must be of equal size.
•Each bank must contain two DIMMs because the memory controller requires a
128bit data width.
5.2 Upgrading SDRAM Memory
You can upgrade memory in the AlphaPC 164LX by adding more DIMMs or
replacing the ones that you have with a greater size. Refer to Figure 2–1 for DIMM
connector locations.
Use the following general guidelines:
1. Observe antistatic precautions. Handle DIMMs only at the edges to prevent
damage.
2. Remove power from the system.
3. Open levers and align the DIMM.
4. Firmly push the module into the connector. Ensure that the DIMM snaps into the
plastic locking levers on both ends.
5. Restore power to the system.
