Installing SIMMs
Install 1 MB x 32 or 36, 2 MB x 32 or 36, 4 MB x 32 or 36, 8 MB x 32 or
36, or 16 MB x 32 or 36 SIMMs in the eight SIMM sockets.
Warning
Do not use 16 MB x 36 64 MB SIMMs that have 36 chips per SIMM. This
type of 16 MB SIMM does not work reliably because of excessive loading on
the motherboard circuitry. If you must use 64 MB SIMMs, use only SIMMs
that have 12 or 8 chips per SIMM. See the above table for a list of 64 MB 16
MB x 36 SIMMs that have been tested and approved by American
Megatrends. Do not use 70 ns SIMMs. The system memory timing cycle on
this motherboard are very sensitive. This motherboard does not work reliably
with 70 ns 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 an
angle, then push it up. When properly inserted, the SIMM clicks into
place as the latching pins engage.
