SIMM UPGRADE
PowerMate P ETC Series system configurations come with 16 MB of main system memory.
Six sockets on the system board support up to 384 MB of high-speed memory using the
following industry-standard, tin-plated, single in-line memory modules (SIMMs):
NOTE:
You may install 60-ns, parity or
nonparity, extended data output (EDO) SIMMs
into the SIMM sockets.
1-MB by 32- or 36-bit (4-MB stick)
2-MB by 32- or 36-bit (8-MB stick)
4-MB by 32- or 36-bit (16-MB stick)
8-MB by 32- or 36-bit (32-MB stick)
16-MB by 32- or 36-bit (64-MB stick).
CAUTION:
To avoid corrosion between
different metals, only use tin-plated SIMM sticks.
Performing Memory Upgrades
Upgrade system memory as follows:
locate memory sockets on system board
check installed system memory
install SIMMs.
Locating SIMM Sockets.
Remove the system unit cover and locate the six SIMM sockets on the system board (see
Section 3 of the PowerMate V & P Series Service and Reference Manual).
If any cables block access to the SIMM sockets, label and disconnect them. If any boards
block access to the sockets, remove them.
Checking System Memory
Use Table 1-2 to check the memory installed in the system and determine the SIMM
configuration needed to increase memory.
