Introduction 1 Features DDR2 DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conventional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.

Troubleshooting C Appendix C - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Checklist This chapter of the manual is designed to help you with problems that you may encounter with your personal computer. To efficiently troubleshoot your system, treat each problem individually. This is to ensure an accurate diagnosis of the problem in case a problem has multiple causes. Some of the most common things to check when you encounter problems while using your system are listed below. 1.
C Troubleshooting The picture seems to be constantly moving. 1. The monitor has lost its vertical sync. Adjust the monitor’s vertical sync. 2. Move away any objects, such as another monitor or fan, that may be creating a magnetic field around the display. 3. Make sure your video card’s output frequencies are supported by this monitor. The screen seems to be constantly wavering. 1. If the monitor is close to another monitor, the adjacent monitor may need to be turned off.
Troubleshooting C Serial Port The serial device (modem, printer) doesn’t output anything or is outputting garbled characters. 1. Make sure that the serial device’s power is turned on and that the device is on-line. 2. Verify that the device is plugged into the correct serial port on the rear of the computer. 3. Verify that the attached serial device works by attaching it to a serial port that is working and configured correctly.
