SIMM Configurations—Type I -1
Factory-installed SIMMs are non-parity SIMMs. However, both parity and
non-parity industry standard SIMMs (2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, or 32MB) are
supported. When installing SIMMs, run the Setup Utility to clear XX62 or
164 error codes.
SIMMs can be installed in any order and size. See Table 5-2.
To verify the size of an unknown SIMM, do the following.
1. Power off the system unit.
2. Install the SIMM in J20, J21, or J22 and power on the system unit.
3. Read the SIMM memory count shown at the top left of the screen as the
system displays the POST icon.
