The mainboard can be installed with 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 MB 72 pins SIMM module
DRAM, and the DRAM speed must be 60 or 70 ns.
The DRAM, SDRAM memory system on mainboard consists of SIMM1/2 &
DIMM1& DIMM2. Each bank consists of 2 sockets for 72 pins SIMM module
DRAM and 2 DIMM Sockets. (Because of the 72 pins SIMM module is 32
bits width, using 2pcs which can match a 64 bits system ).
The total memory size is 8 - 384 MB.
For the DRAM installation position, please refer to Figure 3.1. Note that the
Pin 1 of SIMM module must match with the Pin 1 of SIMM socket when the
DRAM SIMM module is installed.

If there is a wrong direction of Pin 1, the DRAM SIMM module couldn't be
inserted into socket completely.
After completely insert SIMM module into socket, then press the SIMM
module in vertical direction until the left and right metal holders can keep the
SIMM module standing up firmly.
