Table 8-1. Sample Simm Configurations - Dell 6100 Installation And Troubleshooting Manual

When installing SIMMs, follow these guidelines:
•
Install the SIMM with the pin 1 end aligned with the
pin 1 end of the socket (see Figure 8-5).
•
Install a SIMM in socket J1 before socket J2, socket
J2 before socket J3, and so on.
•
All SIMMs in one bank must be the same size and
speed, but SIMMs in bank 1 may differ in size from
those in bank 2.
