The CompactFlash card is defaulted as the Secondary channel
slave drive on your PC system.
2.6 Adding System Memory (DIMM)
You can install anywhere from 8 to 512 MB of SDRAM into your
PCI-6870 series card. The card is provided with a 168-pin DIMM
socket, which accepts 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512 MB 3.3 V power level
DIMMs.
2.6.1 Installing DIMMs
The procedure for installing DIMMs appears below. Please follow
these steps carefully.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off.
2. Install the DIMM card. Install the DIMM so that its gold pins
point down into the DIMM socket.
3. Slip the DIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and
carefully fit the bottom of the card against the connectors.
4. Gently push the DIMM into a perpendicular position until the
clips on the ends of the DIMM sockets snap into place.
5. Check to ensure that the DIMM is correctly seated and all
connector contacts touch. The DIMM should not move around in
its socket.
Note: The PCI-6870 card only supports SDRAM
DIMM modules. EDO DIMM is not supported.
Note: The modules can only fit into the socket one
way. Their gold pins must point down into the
DIMM socket.
