Installing Memory Modules

There are six SIMM sockets on the main system board organized in three banks consisting of two sockets each. The sockets are labeled SIMM1 through SIMM6.

The following table shows all the possible SIMM configurations for your computer. Do not install SIMMs in any configuration that is not listed below. Keep in mind that 2MB of memory is already soldered directly on the main system board.

*If you install this amount of system memory, only 16MB of it can be used as extended memory. Any memory above 16MB must be used as expanded memory.

tIf you install 24MB of total memory on SIMMs, the computer disables the 2MB of memory soldered on your main system board.
