Installing SIMMs
Six SIMM sockets are located near the power connector on the motherboard. These sockets can be filled with either
256 KB x 36, 512 KB x 36, 1 MB x 36, 2 MB x 36, 4 MB x 36, or 8 MB x 36 SIMMs. Place the motherboard on an anti-
static mat. With the component side of the SIMM facing you, firmly push the SIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle,
then push it up to a vertical position. When properly inserted, the SIMM clicks into place as the latching pins engage. See
the following figure.

Reporting Memory
The system memory configuration is reported by AMIBIOS as it boots and again when the AMIBIOS System
Configuration Screen is displayed just before the operating system is booted. The memory reported by AMIBIOS is 384 KB
less than the total amount of memory installed in the system because the memory between 640K and 1024K can be used to
shadow the video, system, and other adapter BIOS.
