3-18 Option Installation
DIMM MEMORY MODULE UPGRADE
Memory upgrades are installed into memory module sockets on the system board. The
system board provides three sockets for memory modules and supports up to 384 MB of
high-speed memory. The system supports 10- or 12-ns cycle time SDRAM modules in
16-, 32-, 64-, and 128-MB 64-bit, non-parity memory configurations (64-MB and 128-MB
per availability).
To determine the memory you need to purchase for a memory upgrade, see “Checking
System Memory.”
