Capability Expanding 3-1
Chapter 3
Capability Expanding
This chapter explain how you can expand capability of your CPU board in such
aspects as system memory, cache memory, and CPU.
3-1 System Memory
Your system DRAM is provided by SIMM's (Single In-line Memory Modules)
on the CPU board. The CPU board contains only one memory bank
corresponding to connector SIMM1 and SIMM2.
The table below shows possible SIMM configurations for the memory banks
and the figure helps you correctly install the SIMM modules. See Figure 3-2 for
memory bank's location.
SIMM 1 SIMM 2 Total Memory
1MBit x 32 1MBit x 32 8MB
2MBit x 32 2MBit x 32 16MB
4MBit x 32 4MBit x 32 32MB
8MBit x 32 8MBit x 32 64MB
16MBit x 32 16MBit x 32 128MB
