S3200XL Operator’s Manual - Version 1.00
INSTALLING EXTRA MEMORY
To install extra memory, you must remove the top of the case.
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
Consult your AKAI Professional dealer on installation of any options
(including memory) to the S3200XL. Self-servicing may cause malfunction of
components or the instrument itself. Akai does not guarantee against the
unit’s malfunction, damage or any loss caused by self-servicing or improper
operation.
Remove the top of the case by undoing the two large screws either side of the case and the
smaller screw in the centre of the top of the rear panel. Looking inside the S3200XL, you will
see something like this:
ROM board sockets
SIMMs socket
Floppy disk drive
SCSI Connector for optional MO drive
Effects processor
O/S ROM
INSTALLING MEMORY EXPANSION
The S3200XL’s internal memory can be expanded to 32Mbytes giving a massive recording
time of nearly six minutes. The S3200XL comes with 16Meg of memory ‘hardwired’ and there is
an extra slot in which you can install SIMMs chips. Installation is fairly simple. The SIMMs board
is inserted at a slight angle and then pushed back where it clips into place. Because SIMMs
boards can differ, it is not possible to say “Install them with the components facing the front of
the S3200XL” or anything like that because some SIMMs boards have the memory chips
mounted on both sides sometimes. However, the boards can only be inserted one way so you
shouldn’t have any problems but be careful not to force them into place otherwise they may
snap.
