Examples:
If you are installing 8MB of memory, you must insert two 1MBx32/x36
SIMMs in Bank 0 or Bank 1. Inserting one 2MBx32/x36 module will not
work.
If you are installing 256MB of memory, you must insert four 16MBx32/
x36 SIMMs in Bank 0 and Bank 1.
If you are installing 24MB of memory, you must insert two 1MBx32/x36
SIMMs in Bank 0 and two 2MBx32/x36 SIMMs in Bank 1. You may also
install it vice versa by inserting two 1MBx32/x36 SIMMs in Bank 1 and
two 2MBx32/x36 SIMMs in Bank 0.
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. Refer to page 13 for the locations of the SIMM sockets.
You will need either 2 or 4 pieces of SIM modules, depending on the
amount of memory you intend to install. The system board will not work
if you install 1 or 3 pieces. Make sure you insert the same type of
SIMMs in one bank. You can install SIMMs in either of the banks, Bank
0 or Bank 1, but you must populate one bank first before going to the
next bank.
The G586VPS Pro system board can support 8MB to 256MB of
memory using 1MBx32/x36, 2MBx32/x36, 4MBx32/x36, 8MBx32/x36, or
16MBx32/x36 72-pin SIMMs. The table below shows the supported SIM
modules and their corresponding memory sizes.
