III. INSTALLATION

i960 Memory (SIMM)

The i960 processor supports two 72-pin, 32-bit SIMMs (Single-Inline Memory Modules) of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. Only Extended Data Output (EDO) DRAM, non-parity SIMMs can be supported by the i960 processor.

IMPORTANT: You must use i960 SIMM socket 1 when using only one module.

SIMM Installation

1.The SIMM memory modules will fit in only one orientation as shown because the plastic safety tab on one end of the SIMM sockets requires the notched end of the SIMM memory modules.

2.Press the memory module firmly into place starting from a 45-degree angle, making sure that all the contacts are aligned with the socket.

3.With your fingertips, rock the memory module into a vertical position so that it clicks into place. The plastic guides should go through the two mounting holes and the clips should snap.
