Installing
For RAM (that is, system memory), the system uses
Single In-line Memory Modules, or SIMMs. The
SlMMs are installed in slots on the motherboard,
divided into two banks (bank 0 and bank 1). There are
4 SIMM slots per bank.
CAUTION:
are extremely sensitive to static
electricity.
Leave the
in the anti-static packag-
ing until you’re ready to install them. Follow the
grounding procedure
possible, wear a
grounding strap, which can be purchased at most
computer supply stores.
Before purchasing or installing
note the fol-
lowing:
The board can use four different sizes of SIMMs:
256x9 Kb, 1 x9 Mb, and 4x9 Mb.
. The SlMMs should be 70 ns or faster.
l
If you install SlMMs in a bank, you must completely
fill the bank. In other words, SIMMs must be in-
stalled in groups of four. You cannot mix SIMM
sizes within a bank.
l
If the system is to be used as a file server for any
type of network, do not mix SIMM sizes on the
motherboard. That Is, use only
1 Mb or 4 Mb.
You can configure the system RAM in the following
ways:
*Cannot be used on file-servers (see above.)
