1.7.2 Continuity RIMM Modules
All RIMM sockets must be populated to achieve continuity for termination at the Rambus
interface. Continuity RIMMs (or “pass-through” modules) must be installed in the second
RDRAM bank if memory is not installed. If any of the RIMM sockets are not populated, the
computer will not complete the Power-On Self-Test (POST) and the BIOS beep codes will not be
heard.
