Installing Memory

The system memory is expandable to 128 MB by adding single in-line memory modules (SIMMs). The four 72-pin SIMM sockets on board accept single-density (4- and 8-MB) and double-density (16- and 32-MB) SIMMs, with 70 ns or less DRAM speed.

NOTE: You can install SIMMs with or without parity even if the system board does not support the parity checking feature.

Installing a SIMM

Follow these steps to install a SIMM:

  1. Slip a SIMM at a 45 o angle into a socket with the component side facing down. Always install SIMMs beginning with bank 0.

    Be careful when inserting or removing SIMMs. Forcing a SIMM in or out of a socket can damage the socket or the SIMM (or both).
     
  2. Gently push the SIMM up until the pegs of the socket slip into the holes on the SIMM and the holding clips lock the SIMM into a vertical position.

    The SIMM should be at a 90 o angle when installed.

Removing a SIMM

  1. Press the holding clips on both sides of the SIMM outward to release it.
  2. Press the SIMM downward to about a 45 o angle.
  3. Gently pull the SIMM out of the socket.

Reconfiguring the System

The system automatically detects the amount of memory installed. Run Setup to view the new value for total system memory and make a note of it.
