1 INSTALLING SYSTEM MEMORY
Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is essential system memory. It can be
configured from 2MB to 128MB (256MB when available) using 32-bit or 36-bit
SIMMs (Single In-line Memory Modules). This is the only type of memory which can
be installed by the user.
1.01 STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS
Since static electricity can damage a board, the following precautions should be taken
whenever you handle the TEK933:
•Keep the board in its antistatic package, until you are ready to install it.
•Touch a grounded surface before removing the board from its package or wear a
grounding wrist strap; this will discharge any static electricity that may have built up
in your body.
•Handle the board by the edges.
•When handling the board, touch a grounded surface often or wear a grounding wrist
strap.

1.02 LOCATION OF SIMM SOCKETS
The location of the four 72-pin vertical SIMM sockets appears on Diagram 1-1; these
sockets are labeled U23, U24, U25 and U26.
DIAGRAM 1-1: SIMM Sockets Location
Installing System Memory 1-2
1.03 SIMM CONFIGURATION
At least 2MB of system memory must be installed on the TEK933 for proper operation.
Each of the 72-pin vertical SIMM sockets on the board can accept the following 32-bit
or 36-bit modules:
•256K x 32-bit / 36-bit = 1MB module,
•512K x 32-bit / 36-bit = 2MB module,
•1M x 32-bit / 36-bit = 4MB module,
•2M x 32-bit / 36-bit = 8MB module,
•4M x 32-bit / 36-bit = 16MB module,
•8M x 32-bit / 36-bit = 32MB module, and
•16M x 32-bit / 36-bit = 64MB module (not available yet).
SIMM modules must be installed in either two or four sockets:
• In U23 and U24, or
• In U25 and U26, or
• In U23, U24, U25 and U26.
SIMMs installed in U23 and U24 must be of the same capacity; likewise, U25 and U26
must be of the same capacity (however, SIMMs in U23-U24 may be of a different
capacity than those in U25-U26).
Consult the tables on the following pages to see which SIMM configurations are
supported by the TEK933.
DRAM devices with fast page mode at 70ns maximum access time are recommended.
Please refer to Appendix D for a list of recommended devices.
Note: 36-bit modules are shown, however 32-bit modules are supported.
Installing System Memory 1-5
1.04 SIMM INSTALLATION
When you are ready to install the SIMMs in the sockets, follow the steps outlined
below.
•With the board flat on the table, turn it so that the sockets are at the end of the board
farthest from you.
•Hold the module with the notch on the bottom right facing you, and insert the
connector into the socket at a 70° angle from the board.
•Snap the module to a vertical position in the socket. The module is fully inserted
when the retaining pegs snap into the holes at each end of the module.
