2-8 Chapter 2: Hardware information 2.5 System memor y 2.5.1 Overview The motherboard comes with six Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 12GB system memory using 184-pin registered PC2100/1600 DIMMs with Serial Presence Detect (SPD) and Error Check and Correction (ECC). A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM. The DDR SDRAM technology evolved from the mainstream PC66, PC100, PC133 memory known as Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAM. DDR memory however , has the ability to perform two data operations in one clock cycle, thus providing twice the throughput of SDR memory . For example, a 200MHz DDR DIMM will support a 100MHz memory bus, and a 266MHz DDR DIMM will support a 133MHz memory bus. A DDR DIMM has the same physical dimensions as an SDR DIMM, but it has a 184-pin footprint compared to the 168-pin of the SDR DIMM. Also, a DDR DIMM is single notched while an SDR DIMM is double notched. Therefore, a DDR DIMM is not backward compatible with SDR, and should be installed only in a socket specially designed for DDR DIMMs. DDR Data T ransfer Rate DDR Base Frequency 266MHz 133MHz 200MHz 100MHz PR-DLS PR-DLS 184-Pin DDR DIMM Sockets 80 Pins 104 Pins
ASUS PR-DLS motherboard user guide 2-9 2.5.2 Memory Configurations The motherboard supports system memory of up to 12GB in a two-way interleaved configuration. As a rule, this configuration requires that you install identical DDR DIMMs (exactly the same type and size) in pairs. For example, if you installed a 512MB module into DDRA1, you must install the same type of 512MB module into DDRA2. The same rule applies to pairs DDRB1/DDRB2 and DDRC1/DDRC2. The only exception to the above rule allows you to install one DIMM into DDRA1 socket (the socket closest to the A TX power connector). Installing a single DIMM into any other socket would not work. The following table lists the DIMM socket pairs and the memory modules that you can install. Memory configuration table DIMM Socket 184-pin ECC DDR DIMM T otal Memory DDRA1 SDRAM 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB x1 DDRA2 SDRAM 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB x1 DDRB1 SDRAM 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB x1 DDRB2 SDRAM 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB x1 DDRC1 SDRAM 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB x1 DDRC2 SDRAM 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB x1 T otal System Memory (Max. 12GB) = The system chipset only supports PC2100/1600 registered ECC DIMMs. Make sure to use only the specified DIMM types for stable system operation.

ASUS PR-DLS motherboard user guide 4-1 4.1.1 Creating a bootable disk AFLASH.EXE is a Flash Memory W riter utility that updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the motherboard. This file works only in DOS mode. T o determine the BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a newer BIOS file. 1. T ype FORMA T A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system disk. DO NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BA T and CONFIG.SYS to the disk. 2. T ype COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your CD-ROM drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created. BIOS setup must specify “Floppy” as the first item in the boot sequence. 4. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH <Enter> to run AFLASH. If the word “unknown ” appears after Flash Memory:, the memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility . AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS prompt within Windows, and does not work with certain memory drivers that may be loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended that you reboot using a floppy disk. 3. Reboot the computer from the floppy disk. 4. 1 Managing and updating your BIOS
