4 Upgrading the System
This chapter describes upgrading your system by adding memory, internal or external SCSI devices,
and option boards. When adding ISA option boards, see also the instructions for using the System
Configuration Utility (SCU).
Adding Memory
Intergraph’s memory upgrade kit contains two Single Inline Memory Modules (SIMMs) and a
disposable antistatic wrist strap.
CAUTION System memory modules available from Intergraph have been certified for use with Intergraph
computers at extremes of temperature and system load to ensure reliable performance. System
memory modules available from other vendors may function improperly or unreliably in your Intergraph
computer.
To avoid damaging the SIMMs and voiding the warranty, take the following precautions.
u
Do not bend, twist, drop, or otherwise handle the SIMMs carelessly.
u
Do not expose the SIMMs to moisture or extreme temperatures.
u
Do not remove the SIMMs from the antistatic bag until instructed.
Follow these SIMM population rules to correctly install the SIMMs.
u
All SIMMs in the sockets must be the same memory size.
u
Two, four, or eight SIMMs must be installed in the sockets. The system will not configure itself if
only three, five, six, or seven SIMMs are installed in the sockets.
To install a memory upgrade:
1. Remove the graphics boards and the installed PCI option boards.
2. If installing 128 MB SIMMs in a deskside system, remove the board guide for PCI slot 6 to allow
for the extra height of these large SIMMs. Remove the top screw from the board guide assembly,
then remove the assembly from the chassis. Refer to the following figure.
3. Remove the side screw securing the slot 6 board guide to the board guide assembly; then remove
the board guide. Refer to the following figure.
