Installation Guidelines
The system board provides two 168-pin, 3.3-V DIMM sockets for
memory expansion. The sockets support 2 M x 64 (16 MB), 4 M x 64
(32 MB), and 8 M x 64 (64 MB) DIMM modules. The maximum memory
size, using two 4 M x 64 SDRAM DIMM modules, is 64 MB. Memory
timing requires 67-MHz (or higher) SDRAM or 60-ns EDO devices.
Gold-plated (>= 30u") DIMMs are required. The following
table defines the possible memory configurations.
 |
NOTE: The only 32-MB SDRAM DIMMs
validated for use in this computer are the following:
- Samsung KMM366S403AT1-G2
- Hitachi HB526A464EN-10
- Samsung KMM366S403AT-G2
- Toshiba THMY644021AEG-12A
The computer may not recognize other 32-MB SDRAM
DIMM modules and may fail POST.

Upper Memory Map
The following table details the system memory map. The ESCD
area fron ED000-EDFFF is not available for use as an upper memory
block (UMB) by memory managers. The area from E0000-ECFFF is
currently not used by the BIOS and is available for use as UMB by
memory managers. Parts of this area may be used by future
versions of the BIOS to add increased functionality.

The Intel� PA28FB200BX 2-Mb Flash component is organized as
256 K x 8 (256 KB). The Flash device is divided into 5 areas, as
described in Table 1. If a 1-Mb Flash component is used, Table 2
describes the organization of the 128 K x 8 (128 KB) area.

The Flash device resides in system memory starting at E0000H
and can be mapped 2 different ways depending on the mode of
operation. In Normal mode, address line A16 is inverted,
setting the E000H and F000H segments so that the BIOS is
organized as shown in the System Address column in Table 2. Recovery
mode removes the inversion on address line A16, swapping the
E000H and F000H segments so that the 16-KB boot block resides at
FE000H where the microprocessor expects the bootstrap loader to
exist. This mode is only necessary in the unlikely event that a
BIOS upgrade procedure is interrupted, causing the BIOS area to
be left in an unusable state. Although Table 2 shows only 128 KB
of ROM space, the other segments are dynamically paged in and out
at run time into the 64-KB BIOS area in system memory.
