Technical Information

This section describes features and components that are specific to the PowerMate® P ETC Series of NEC PowerMate V & P Series computers. For information that is general to all PowerMate V & P Series computers, see the PowerMate V & P Series Service and Reference Manual (part number 819-181516-000) or the PowerMate V & P Series Service and Reference Manual Addendum (part number 819-181667-000).

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

PowerMate P ETC Series computers are configured with a different system board and come with a network interface board installed as standard equipment in one of the system unit expansion slots. Depending on the model, the system unit also contains a 1.2-GB or 2.1-GB Western Digital IDE hard disk.

PowerMate P ETC Series computers include the configurations identified in Table 1-1.

1-2 Technical Information

SIMM UPGRADE

PowerMate P ETC Series system configurations come with 16 MB of main system memory. Six sockets on the system board support up to 384 MB of high-speed memory using the following industry-standard, tin-plated, single in-line memory modules (SIMMs):

NOTE: You may install 60-ns, parity or nonparity, extended data output (EDO) SIMMs into the SIMM sockets.

T1-MB by 32or 36-bit (4-MB stick)

T2-MB by 32or 36-bit (8-MB stick)

T4-MB by 32or 36-bit (16-MB stick)

T8-MB by 32or 36-bit (32-MB stick)

T16-MB by 32or 36-bit (64-MB stick).

CAUTION: To avoid corrosion between different metals, only use tin-plated SIMM sticks.

Performing Memory Upgrades

Upgrade system memory as follows:

Tlocate memory sockets on system board

Tcheck installed system memory

Tinstall SIMMs.

Locating SIMM Sockets.

Remove the system unit cover and locate the six SIMM sockets on the system board (see Section 3 of the PowerMate V & P Series Service and Reference Manual).

If any cables block access to the SIMM sockets, label and disconnect them. If any boards block access to the sockets, remove them.

Checking System Memory

Use Table 1-2 to check the memory installed in the system and determine the SIMM configuration needed to increase memory.

Technical Information	1-3

NOTE: SIMM memory must be installed in pairs of the same memory type.
