Advantech PCA-6359 Memory Installation Procedures, Supplementary information about DIMMs

1.7.2 Supplementary information about DIMMs

Your PCA-6359 Series can accept SDRAM memory chips (with or without parity). Also note:

•SDRAM chips are usually thinner and have higher pin density than EDO chips.

•Modules with 9 chips/side support ECC; modules with 8 chips/side do not support ECC.

•Single-sided modules are typically 16, 32 or 64 MB; double-sided modules are usually 32, 64, or 128 MB.

1.8Memory Installation Procedures

To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.
