Removing Memory

3. Choose "System Manager" from the System toolchest. The toolchest is shown in
Figure 3-16.
You see a window showing Hardware and Shared Resources.
4. Look under the Hardware listing for the line showing memory. The amount of
memory shown in megabytes should equal the amount of memory that came with
IRIS Indigo plus the amount of memory you installed.
For example, if you had 16 MB of memory on the workstation when you started and
you installed another 32 MB, you should have a total of 48 MB.
If the amount of memory you just installed is not added to the original amount,
Note:
the SIMMs are not installed correctly. Make sure that all the SIMMs are all the way in.
Return to "Adding SIMMs to the IRIS Indigo Workstation" on page 41 to remove the
CPU board, check the SIMMs, and replace the CPU board. Then try this procedure again.
Now you are ready to use the IRIS Indigo workstation.
You may need to remove SIMMs if one fails or if you want to upgrade the memory in
your system.
Caution: SIMMs and the system's internal components are sensitive to static electricity.
Handle the SIMMs carefully, and wear the wrist strap to avoid the flow of static
electricity.
When you receive new SIMMs or a SIMM to replace a failed SIMM in an IRIS Indigo
R3000 workstation, you also receive a plastic SIMM removal tool. It has a handle on one
end and a notch on the other. You do not need a removal tool to remove SIMMs from an
IRIS Indigo R4000 family workstation.
To remove memory, you must shut down the system, remove the covers and CPU board,
remove the SIMMs, and then replace the CPU board and covers.
