Memory Module
The upper right area of the system board contains sockets for four dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs). See Chapter 9, “Upgrading the System,” and the System Board Manual for more
information on memory modules and their sockets. See Chapter 11, “System Hardware and
Specifications,” for detailed memory specifications.
CAUTION
System memory modules from Intergraph Computer Systems are certified for use
with Intergraph computers at extremes of temperatures 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 a DIMM and voiding its warranty, take the following precautions:
♦
Do not touch the metallic finger contacts.
♦
Do not bend, twist, drop, or otherwise handle the DIMM carelessly.
♦
Do not expose the DIMM to moisture or extreme temperatures.
♦
Do not remove the DIMM from its antistatic package until you are ready to install it.
