Installing and Removing Memory

DECstation 5000 Model 100 Series workstations use pairs of
2-megabyte or 8-megabyte memory modules. Your workstation
can hold up to eight pairs of memory modules.
The system unit comes with at least four 2-megabyte MS01-AA
or MS01L-AA memory modules or two 8-megabyte MS01-CA
memory modules in place.
With pairs of 2-megabyte MS01-AA or MS01L-AA memory
modules, you can install up to 32 megabytes of memory.
With pairs of 8-megabyte MS01-CA memory modules, you
can install up to 128 megabytes of memory.
The cnfg command shows how much memory is installed
in your workstation. Chapter 11 explains how to use the
command.

To Install Memory Modules

Use either 2-megabyte or 8-megabyte memory modules in your
workstation. The MS01-AA and the MS01L-AA can be used
interchangably.
Caution:
the same system. This will cause the 8-megabyte modules to act as
2-megabyte modules.
You need a medium Phillips screwdriver.
