RIMM Memory Slots

The HP Kayak XU700 PC Workstation has four RIMM memory sockets,
RIMM A1, RIMM A2, RIMM B1, RIMM B2, for installing two or four RDRAM
memory modules.

Each pair of memory sockets must contain identical memory modules
(identical in size, speed and type). That is, sockets

A1

and

B1

must contain

identical modules, and sockets

A2

and

B2

must contain identical modules

(or continuity modules).

If only two RDRAM modules are installed, use the sockets marked

A1

and

B1

. The other two sockets (

A2

and

B2

) must contain continuity modules.

If only Each DIMM socket is connected to the SMBus and is described on

page 49

.

Read/Write Buffers

The MCH defines a data buffering scheme to support the required level of
concurrent operations and provide adequate sustained bandwidth between
the DRAM subsystem and all other system interfaces (CPU, AGP and PCI).

System Clocking

The MCH operates the System interface at 100 MHz or, PCI at 33 MHz and
AGP at 66/133 MHz. Coupling between all interfaces and internal logic is
done in a synchronous manner. The clocking scheme uses an external clock
synthesizer (which produces reference clocks for the host, AGP and PCI
interfaces).
