3.2 Installation of DRAM modules (SIMM or DIMM)

3.2.1

 

SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module)

You can configure the system memory size in a variety of ways by using different
combinations of the four 72-pin DRAM SIMM. The memory must be 70ns (nanoseconds) or
faster using either Fast Page Mode or Extended Data Output (EDO) types. The memory table
below shows the different memory size combinations available.  Please pay attention to the
following restrictions :

1)

 

You must use one pair of sockets at a time in sequence ( i.e. SIMM1 and SIMM2, or all
four sockets at once).
