The PCI-MXI-2 Universal has an onboard EEPROM, which stores default
register values that are loaded at power-on. The EEPROM is divided into
two halves—a factory-configuration half and a user-configuration half—so
you can modify the user-configurable half while the factory-configured
half stores a back-up of the default user settings. The factory configuration
is a minimal configuration that you can use to boot your PCI-MXI-2
Universal regardless of the changes made to the user configuration. For
information about configuring the onboard EEPROM, refer to Appendix B,
EEPROM Configuration.
The PCI-MXI-2 Universal can accommodate one 72-pin DRAM
SODIMM. Table 3-1 lists the SODIMM types you can use. The
PCI-MXI-2 Universal can hold up to 16 MB of onboard memory.
The PCI-MXI-2 Universal supports DRAM speeds of 80 ns or faster.

This section contains general installation instructions for the PCI-MXI-2
Universal. Consult your computer user manual or technical reference
manual for specific instructions and warnings.
1. Plug in your PCI-based computer before installing the PCI-MXI-2
Universal. The power cord grounds the computer and protects it from
electrical damage while you install the module.
2. Remove the cover or access port to the PCI bus.
3. Select any available PCI expansion slot.
