Installing DRAM SIMM
The AA-3102RS controller requires a minimum of 4
Mbytes DRAM SIMM (with or without parity function)
installed in a SIMM socket in order for it to operate. The
controller is normally delivered without any DRAM
installed.
The following are guidelines on using DRAMs:
•
Use 72-pin 60 ns DRAM or 60 ns EDO RAM SIMM module. EDO
RAM is recommended for better performance.
•
A SIMM, with or without parity, can be auto-detected by the
controller. A SIMM with parity is recommended for security.
•
The minimum DRAM required is 4 Mbytes in-stalled in a SIMM
socket, however 8 Mbytes is recommended.
•
The controller supports 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB
DRAM SIMM module. Maximum DRAM size is 128 Mbytes.
To install the DRAM SIMM:
1. Power off the system and disconnect the power connector.
2. Insert the DRAM SIMM vertically into the socket making sure the
key is on the left side (1). Now push the module backward until
the hooks on both sides of the socket snap into place (2).
