1 . Pull the " tabs" which are at the ends of the socket to the side.
2 . Position the DIMM above the socket with the " notches" in the
module aligned with the " keys" on the socket.
3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is
completely seated. The tabs will hold the DIMM in place.
2.2.1.2 SIMM
The SIMM sockets are
divided into two banks on
the system board, Bank 0
and Bank 1. Each bank
consists of 2 SIMM sockets.
The system board supports
8MB to 256MB of memory
using 1MBx32, 2MBx32,
4MBx32, 8MBx32
16MBx32 72-pin SIMMs
(Single In-line Memory
Module). You will need 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 banks but you must populate one bank first before going
to the next bank.
