1-2 Technical Information

SIMM UPGRADE

PowerMate Ve ETC Series system configurations come with 16 MB of main system memory. Four sockets on the system board support up to 128 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).

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

The system board can use 64-MB SIMMs (16-MB by 32or 36-bit), but these SIMMs are not supported by NECCSD for the PowerMate Ve ETC Series.

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 Ve 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.

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