Expanding the DIMM Memory
The Fantom-G comes with 32 MB of memory into which audio
samples can be loaded. However, in some cases, 32 MB of memory
will be insufficient for loading large amounts of data. In such a case,
you will have to add separately sold memory (DIMM). Memory can
be expanded up to 128/256/512 MB/1 GB.
Specifications of the expansion memory
(DIMM) that can be used
Supports Unbuffered (non-Registered), PC133, CL=2/3,
128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB (3.3 V)
Number of pins:
168-pin
Board height:
40 mm or less
The Fantom-G is unable to use buffered (registered) DIMM
memory.
The Fantom-G has been confirmed to work with standard
memory that meets the above specifications. However, we
cannot guarantee that all memory of these specifications will
work correctly. Please be aware that even with identical
specifications, differences in the design of the memory module
or the conditions of use may mean that a memory module may
not be usable.
Operation is not guaranteed for single samples larger than 512
MB.

• Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before
attempting installation of the memory DIMM board.
• To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be
caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the
following whenever you handle the board.
1
• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object
(such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity
you might have been carrying has been discharged.
2
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid
touching any of the electronic components or connectors.
5
• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and
put the board back into it whenever you need to store or
transport it.
• Use a Phillips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the
screw (a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is
used, the head of the screw may be stripped.
• To remove a screw, rotate the
screwdriver counter-clockwise.
To tighten the screws, rotate the
screwdriver clockwise.
• Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the
interior of the Fantom-G.
• Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the cover or the
opening edge while removing the cover.
• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection
terminals.
• Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesn’t
fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.
• When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your
work.
• Install only the specified memory DIMM board. Remove only
the specified screws.
• When turning the unit upside-down, get
a bunch of newspapers or magazines,
and place them under the four corners
or at both ends to prevent damage to the
buttons and controls. Also, you should
try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.
• When turning the Fantom-G8 upside-down, at least two
persons are required to safely lift and turn the Fantom-G8.
Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury
and the instrument from damage.
• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid
dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
• Do not leave the bottom cover removed. After installation of the
memory module is complete, be sure to replace the cover.
Install the memory module after removing the bottom panel cover.
