Installing Additional Memory

Take a moment to read over the following important notes about installing memory.

•Before you attempt to install additional memory modules in your C160/C180/ C200/C240/C360 workstation, use the procedure described in Appendix D, “The Boot Console Interface,” to determine the current memory configuration for this workstation.

•Read over the steps involved in installing memory modules before you begin.

•You must insert memory modules in pairs of equal size.

•Modules must be inserted in the lowest numbered memory connector pair first, then in numerical order. For example, install memory in 0A and 0B first, then 1A and 1B, 2A and 2B, 3A and 3B, 4A and 4B, and 5A and 5B. Memory slots must be filled in order from 0A and 0B through 5A and 5B. Refer to Figure 40 for memory pair numbering and location. Insert memory modules in decreasing or- der of memory module size. For example, install 128 MB modules, then 64 MB, 32 MB, and finally, 16 MB modules.

•When you have finished installing additional memory modules, use the Boot Console Interface to verify that they are seen by the workstation.
