3.2Memory Installation

This section details the procedure for installing system memory on the NuPRO-850. Correct memory configuration is critical for proper system operation.

3.2.1Memory Configuration Options

The NuPRO-850 has flexible memory configuration options. These include support for 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB Modules. Note that the modules must all be the of the same type and density and must be installed in pairs (DIMM1 and SIMM2 or DIMM3 and DIMM4) for dual-channel mode operation.

3.2.2Installing Memory Modules

Installing DIMM modules is simple. The modules insert in the sockets and are held in place by the socket retaining arms. The edge connectors on the modules are of different widths and there are key notches in each module. These ensure that you do not insert a module incorrectly.

Before installing any modules, a configuration should be chosen. The required number and type of DDR modules should then be prepared.
