System Memory - DFI 586STE User Manual

System Memory

The SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets are divided into two
banks on the system board, Bank 0 and Bank 1. Each bank consists of
2 SIMM sockets.
You will need either 2 or 4 pieces of SIM modules, depending on the
amount of memory you intend to install. Make sure you insert the same
type of SIMMs in one bank. You can install SIMMs in either of the
banks (Bank 0 or Bank 1) but you must populate one bank first before
going to the next bank.
The 586STE system board can support 8MB to 256MB of memory us-
ing 1MBx32, 2MBx32, 4MBx32, 8MBx32, or 16MBx32 72-pin SIMMs.
The table below shows the supported SIM modules and their corre-
sponding memory sizes.
The table below summarizes the bank locations and modules needed
