SECONDARY CACHE UPGRADE

The system comes with 16 KB of primary cache built into the processor. Your system
supports an optional 256 KB of asynchronous or synchronous pipeline burst secondary
SRAM cache module. The secondary cache installs into a cache socket on the system
board. Secondary cache increases system performance.
Use the following procedure to install the cache module.
1. Remove the system unit cover.
2. Locate the cache socket on the system board (see Figure Section 3-14).
If you have expansion boards obstructing the connector, remove the boards.

NOTE: NEC recommends that you purchase
the NEC Cache Upgrade Kit when adding
secondary cache. The NEC option kit has been
tested and approved to work correctly with your
system.
