G486-EVA
A SIMM consists of RAM chips soldered onto a small
circuit board. A SIMM connects to the system board
via a 30-pin card-edge connector.
The SIMM sockets are divided into two banks on the
system board. The G486-EVA system board uses
256Kx9, 1Mx9 and 4Mx9 SIM modules.
A list of approved memory brands and speeds is given in
Appendix A.
You will need 4 to 8 pieces of SIM modules, depending
on the amount of memory you intend to install. Your
system board can be configured with 1MB, 4MB, 8MB,
16MB or 32MB of onboard memory.
When installing the SIM modules, populate Bank 0 first
followed by Bank 1. Failure to do so will cause the
system board to work improperly.
The following table summarizes the bank locations and
modules needed for the corresponding memory sizes.
Each bank consists of four SIMM sockets.
