Installing SDRAM (DIMMs)

The MIC-3365 provides two 168-pin DIMM sockets. Each socket
accepts either 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 MB SDRAM. The sockets can
be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total
memory capacity between 16 and 512 MB.
Since the MIC-3365 can operate at 66 or 100 MHz, we recommend
using PC100-compliant DIMMs.
The procedure for installing DIMMs appears below. Please follow
these steps carefully.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off.
2. Install the DIMM modules. Install the DIMM so that its gold pins
point down into the DIMM socket.
3. Slip the DIMM into the socket and carefully fit the bottom of the
card against the connectors.
4. Gently push the DIMM into the socket, until the clips on the ends
of the DIMM sockets snap into place.
5. Check to ensure that the DIMM is correctly seated and all connec-
tor contacts touch. The DIMM should not move around in its
socket.

The MIC-3365 is limited in its DIMM module
space. Therefore, please be careful when pur-
chasing the DIMM modules for the MIC-3365. If
you have questions, please contact Advantech.
The DIMM modules can only fit into sockets one
way, in accordance with the keyed notches along
the bottom edge of the modules. Their gold pins
must point down into the DIMM socket.
