Chapter 117 Above table lists some system memory configurations. You may combine DIMMs with various capacities to form other combinations. NOTE: The shipping specification for DIMM combination is 64MB in slot 1. NOTE: The IEEE 802.11b MiniPCI card has two RF connectors mounted, identified as Main and Auxiliary connector. Since there is only one card variant in this controlled deployment program, it is chosen that antenna diversity can be obtained by use of an external antenna diversity switch, which is connected to the Main RF connector, and controlled by DC-switching voltage provided through this connector System Memory ItemSpecification Memory controlle Built-in 82815E Onboard memory size 0 MB DIMM socket numbe 2 sockets Supports memory size per socket 128 MB Supports maximum memory size 256MB (128MB x 2) Supports DIMM type SDRAM Supports DIMM speed 100 MHz Supports DIMM voltage 3.3V Supports DIMM package 144 pin so-DIM Memory module combinations You can install memory modules in any combinations as long as they match the above specifications.
