System Memory
The SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets are divided into two
banks on the system board, Bank 0 and Bank 1. Each bank consists of
2 SIMM sockets.
You will need 2 or 4 pieces of SIM modules, depending on the amount
of memory you intend to install. Make sure you insert the same type of
SIMMs in one bank. You can install SIMMs in any of the banks, Bank 0
or Bank 1, but you must populate a bank first before going to the next
bank.
The G586IPC system board can support 8MB to 256MB of memory us-
ing 1MBx36, 2MBx36, 4MBx36, 8MBx36, or 16MBx36 72-pin SIMMs.
The table below shows the supported SIM modules and their corre-
sponding memory sizes.

Examples:
If you are installing 8MB of memory, you must insert two 1MBx36
SIMMs in Bank 0 or Bank 1.
If you are installing 256MB of memory, you must insert four 16MBx36
SIMMs in Bank 0 and Bank 1.
If you are installing 24MB of memory, you must insert two 1MBx36
SIMMs in Bank 0 and two 2MBx36 SIMMs in Bank 1. You may also
install it vice versa by inserting two 1MBx36 SIMMs in Bank 1 and two
2MBx36 SIMMs in Bank 0.
