Here’s what to consider:
If you are installing an odd number of DIMMs or you do not have pairs of identical
size DIMMs, they can be installed into any open DIMM slots.
If you are installing pairs of identical size DIMMs, be sure to install the identical pairs
in their matching banks for optimal performance.
5. Being careful not to touch the DIMMs edge connector, align them over the DIMM
socket.
Note: DIMMs are designed to fit into a DIMM socket in only one direction. Be sure
to match the notches in the DIMM connector to the ribs in the DIMM socket for
proper orientation.
Installing DIMMs
6. Push down firmly on the DIMM until it snaps into place.
7. Close the side door panel by tightening the four screws that are attached to it.
8. Turn on your Genesis MP.
If your Genesis MP starts up properly, select About This Macintosh under the Apple
menu in the Finder and check that the amount of total memory matches the amount of
total memory you have installed in your Genesis MP. (Since About This Macintosh
reports memory in kilobytes (K) you will need to divide this number by 1,024 to
convert the number to megabytes (MB). 1 MB = 1,024K)
If you experience problems when starting up your machine, or About This Macintosh
does not list the correct amount of RAM, review this section to make sure that your
DIMMs are firmly and properly installed.
If you continue to have problems, it is possible that one of the DIMMs you installed is
malfunctioning.
