Mailbox Upgrade
Increasing the size of your mailbox
You purchased your DSP-232 with the standard 18K mailbox (32K RAM). You may increase the size of the
mailbox in your DSP-232 by installing either one or two additional SRAM chips. If you install only one, you will
have a 150K mailbox (160K RAM). If you install two chips, you will have a 242K mailbox (256K RAM).
The firmware in your DSP-232 does not need to be changed. All that is necessary is to install the additional SRAM
chip(s).
The SRAM chip required is Hitachi part number HM628128:128K. You may buy this part from your local
electronics market or directly from AEA. AEA’s part number is 332-628. To order or check price and availability,
call AEA’s Upgrade Hotline at (206) 774-1722 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PST, Monday through Friday. You
can also fax us your inquiries at (206) 775-2340. Or write: AEA, Inc., P.O. Box C-2160, Lynnwood, WA 98036.
To install additional mailbox space do the following:
150K (160K RAM) instructions
Remove the SRAM IC in socket U6 and install it in U7. Make sure you install the IC with pin one oriented
correctly.
Install the new SRAM chip in socket U6. Make sure you install the IC with pin one oriented correctly.
242K (256K RAM) instructions
Remove the SRAM IC in socket U6 and set it aside.
Install a new SRAM IC in both sockets U6 and U7. Make sure you install the IC with pin one oriented correctly.
If you encounter problems with the above procedures call AEA’s Technical Service Department at (206) 775-7373.
