The connectors in your system unit must all contain the same type
of memory module: either 2-megabyte or 8-megabyte modules. Your
system won't work properly if you mix the two types.

1. If the workstation software is running, shut it down: type shutdown -h
now and press Return.
2. Turn off the system unit by pressing the 0 on the on/off switch on the back
of the unit. Unplug the system unit power cord.
3. Open the system unit. (See Section 1.1.3.1.)
4. Put on the antistatic wrist strap. (See Figure 1–5.)
5. Stand in front of the system unit. You'll see the two pairs of memory
connectors on the base system module. Each pair constitutes one slot. The
slot number is printed to the left of each pair of connectors. The slot closest
to you is slot 1. Behind slot 1 is slot 0. Locate the lowest-numbered empty
