Option Installation 3-13
SIMM Upgrade
SIMM sticks are installed into SIMM sockets on the system board. The system board
provides four SIMM sockets and supports up to 128 MB of high-speed memory. The
system supports the following 32-bit (non-parity) 70 ns SIMMs:
1-MB by 32-bit (4-MB stick)
2-MB by 32-bit (8-MB stick)
4-MB by 32-bit (16-MB stick)
8-MB by 32-bit (32-MB stick).
CAUTION:
To avoid corrosion between
different metals, only use tin-plated SIMM sticks.
Checking System Memory
Use the following procedure to:
check the memory installed in the system
determine the SIMM configuration needed to increase memory
locate the sockets for SIMM installation.
1.
Locate the four SIMM sockets on the system board (see Figure 3-13).
If any cables block access to the SIMM sockets, label and disconnect them. If any
boards block access to the sockets, remove them.
2.
Use Table 3-1 to determine the SIMM configuration needed to upgrade memory
and to identify the sockets for SIMM installation.
