Simm Configurations; Installing Sample Ram - Kurzweil K2600 - MUSICIANS GUIDE REV A PART NUMBER 910331 CHAP 9 Manual

SIMM Configurations
Some SIMMs cannot be paired with other SIMMs, regardless of their sizes. The following table
shows which sizes can be combined.
Size in Megabytes
Table 9-1
For example, a 4 M SIMM can be combined with another 4 M SIMM to create 8 M of sample
memory. Similarly, a 4 M SIMM could be paired with a 16 M or 64 M SIMM. It could not,
however, be paired with an 8 M, 32 M or 128 M SIMM. If you use an 8 M, 32 M, or 128 M SIMM,
you cannot use the other SIMM socket.
These companies make SIMMs that work (many other sources are also likely to have the proper
conÞgurations):
Newer RAM
Chip Merchant
Kamel Peripherals
Lifetime Memory
Caution : Do not use composite SIMMs. A composite SIMM is one that uses a PAL or other additional
circuitry to make multiple DRAM chips act like bigger chips. Non-composite SIMMs (acceptable) have no
chips other than DRAM memory chips soldered to the board. SIMMs with PALs, buffers, or other logic
components will not work in a K2600; do not use them. Composite SIMMs may appear to work in some
cases, but they will be unreliable.

Installing Sample RAM

ThereÕs an access panel on the underside of your K2600, which youÕll need to open to install
your sample RAM. This is the same panel you would open to install a replacement battery, the
P/RAM-26 option, or ROM sound block options.
Warning : Turn off your K2600 and disconnect the power cable!
1. Carefully place your K2600 upside down on a padded level surface, with the front of the
instrument toward you. Keyboard owners should use soft, sturdy foam under the ends of
the instrument, to protect the wheels and sliders.
