ABSTRACT:
A memory module storing therein boot codes, a core logic device capable of distinguishing such memory module from the other memory modules of the same module specification, and a method for realizing the boot codes from the memory module storing therein the boot codes are disclosed. All the memory modules are electrically connected to the core logic device via respective signal pins, but the memory module storing therein boot codes outputs an identifying signal different from the identifying signals outputted by the other memory modules in a booting process. Therefore, the core logic device can locate the memory module storing therein the boot codes, and the host device can accomplish the booting process by reading the boot codes from the specific memory module.
