Installing More Pentium Pro Memory
You can expand computer memory by installing industry standard Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMMs) on the processor board of the Pentium Pro system.
The following guidelines must be followed when installing additional memory:
■
Use only 32-MB, 64-MB, 128-MB, or 256-MB; EDO- or FASTPAGE-
buffered; 4-K refreshed DIMMs.
■
DIMMs must be 60 ns or faster.
CAUTION:
Use only Compaq DIMMs. DIMMs from other sources may
adversely affect data integrity. Power-On Self-Test (POST) will warn of
non-supported DIMMs.
To install more memory, refer to one of the following installation sources:
■
For a text and illustration procedure, refer to the installation
documentation that came with the option kit.
■
For a text only overview of the procedure, refer to the procedure below.
■
For an illustration overview of the procedure, refer to the Hardware
Installation and Configuration poster included in the shipping box or
to the Processor Board Hood Label located on the inside of the Side
Access Panel.
To install a Compaq DIMM, complete the following steps:
1. If the computer is on, turn it off and disconnect the power cord.
2. Disconnect any other external equipment connected to the computer.
3. Remove the processor board tray.
4. Place the processor board tray, component side up, on a flat surface.
5. Align the key slot on the bottom edge of each DIMM with the tab in the
DIMM socket.
