2–4 1765 Network Printer Configuration Guide
Install RAM
The Silentwriter 1765 has two Single Inline Memory
Module (SIMM) slots that support 72-pin with parity
(36 bits) industry standard RAM SIMMs, available from
many third party vendors. NEC recommends RAM
speeds of 70 nanoseconds or faster. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32
MB SIMMs are available, and you can add up to 48
additional MB of RAM. The 1760 comes with 4 MB as
standard equipment. The Silentwriter 1765 requires a
minimum of 6 MB for network printing. To upgrade a
1760 to a 1765 you need to purchase and install at least 2
additional MB for a minimum of 6 MB.

• Wear charge-dissipative straps and work on antistatic
surfaces while handling the main controller board.
• Avoid carpets in cool, dry areas where static may build
up.
