Installing Additional Memory; To Remove A Dimm - Acer 3200 User Manual

Installing additional memory

The three 168-pin sockets on board support Synchronous Dynamic
Random-Access Memory (SDRAM)-type DIMMs. You may install 32-MB,
64-MB, 128-MB, or 256-MB single and double density for a maximum
memory capacity of 512-MB.
Note: Due to a chipset limitation you can only use two DIMM
sockets (DIMM1 and DIMM2) when you install a 133 MHZ front
side bus CPU. If you install a 100 MHz front side bus CPU then you
can use all three DIMM sockets. However, the maximum memory
capacity still applies when using three DIMM sockets.
The SDRAM DIMMs should work under 3.3 volts; 5-volt memory devices
are not supported. Both PC-100 (100MHz) and PC-133 (133 MHz)
SDRAM can be installed on the mainboard; however, they cannot be
used at the same time in a computer. Contact your dealer for qualified
DIMM vendors.
Caution! Do not use both PC-100 and PC-133 SDRAM together.
Such a combination might cause your computer to malfunction.
Each of the DIMM sockets is independent from each other. This
independence allows you to install DIMMs with different capacities to
form different configurations.

To remove a DIMM

Note: Observe the "Installation precautions" on page 47 when
installing or removing a computer component. Also, make sure
that you have removed the computer cover (see page 49).
1. Press the holding clips on both sides of the DIMM socket outward
to release the DIMM (see step 1 in the figure).
