Before You Begin
WARNING
Disconnect the system from AC power before servicing internal components! Failure to
remove AC power may result in equipment damage or personal injury.
NOTE
See Chapter 1, “Accessing the System,” for instructions on opening the system and protecting
against electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION
Follow all warnings and cautions in servicing instructions. If you fail to follow documented,
approved procedures, personal injury and damage to equipment can result.
CAUTION
Use an antistatic wrist strap for all servicing procedures to avoid the possibility of electrostatic
discharge.
CAUTION
Do not overtighten screws and other fasteners to avoid damaging threads.
Adding Memory
You can upgrade memory on the MSMT589 system board in 64 MB, 128 MB, or 256 MB
increments. The minimum total memory is 64 MB and the maximum total memory using 256
MB DIMMs is 1.5 GB.
You can install DIMMs one at a time. Each bank has only one slot.
Memory upgrade kits from Intergraph Computer Systems contain one DIMM and a disposable
antistatic wrist strap.
CAUTION
System memory modules from Intergraph Computer Systems are certified for use with
Intergraph computers at extremes of temperature and system load to ensure reliable
performance. System memory modules available from other vendors may not function
properly or reliably in your Intergraph computer.
To avoid damaging DIMMs and voiding the warranty, take the following precautions:
Do not touch the gold-plated finger contacts.
Do not install DIMMs that have tin-plated finger contacts.
Do not bend, twist, drop, or otherwise handle DIMMs carelessly.
Do not expose DIMMs to moisture or extreme temperatures.
Do not remove DIMMs from the antistatic bag until installation.
