Important Guidelines For Dimm Installation; Installing Dimm Modules - Compaq Deskpro AP500 Reference Manual

Important Guidelines for DIMM Installation

When installing DIMMs, you MUST follow these guidelines:
Use only 32-, 64-, 128-, or 256-MB, Registered 100-MHz Error
Checking and Correcting (ECC) SDRAM DIMMs.
Registered DIMMs must be used.
DIMMs must have a 4 KHz refresh rate.
DO NOT INSTALL DIMMS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT ERROR
CHECKING AND CORRECTING (ECC).
A DIMM can be installed only one way. Be sure to match the two key
slots on the DIMM with the tab on the DIMM socket. Push the DIMM
down into the DIMM socket, ensuring that it is fully inserted and
properly seated.
When upgrading, do not exceed 1 GB total. Upgrades exceeding
1 GB will cause the system to halt.

Installing DIMM Modules

IMPORTANT: Prior to installing additional DIMMs, read "Important
Guidelines for DIMM Installation" in the previous section.

components of the workstation or optional boards. Before
beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of
static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Refer
