1. Pull the “tabs” which are at the ends of the socket to the side.
2. Position the DIMM above the socket with the “notches” in the
module aligned with the “keys” on the socket.
3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is
completely seated. The tabs will hold the DIMM in place.
Installing the DIM Module
A DIM module simply snaps into a socket on the system board.
Pin 1 of the DIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of the
socket.
2.2.1.2 SIMM
The SIMM sockets are
divided into two banks on
the system board, Bank 0
and Bank 1. Each bank
consists of 2 SIMM sockets.
The system board supports
8MB to 256MB of memory
using 1MBx32, 2MBx32,
4MBx32, 8MBx32 or
16MBx32 72-pin SIMMs
(Single In-line Memory
Module). 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 either banks but you must
populate one bank first before going to the next bank.
