are located for easy access in the CEC drawer. (These slots are shown in “System
Board Locations” on page 20.) Each memory riser card has 16 DIMM slots.
Four sizes of DIMMs are available: 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB. In addition,
certain 32 MB DIMMS from earlier RS/6000 systems can also be used.
