4 Fasten the mLAN8E to the MOTIF. Flip the unit over, so that each connector section of the mLAN8E can be seen from the back side of MOTIF. Supporting the unit with one hand, attach it to the rear of the MOTIF with the three screws you removed earlier. If you start replacing the screws from the center screw, it will be easy to replace the remaining screws.

Installing Optional Hardware

Optional SIMM Installation

You can increase the MOTIF’s sampling memory by installing commercially available SIMMs (single in-line memory modules). This section explains how to carry out the installation.

Important Information about Purchase of Expansion SIMMs for the MOTIF

The MOTIF does not necessarily support all commercially available SIMMs. Before purchasing SIMMs, please consult your Yamaha dealer or an authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice.

Note that Yamaha cannot assume responsibility for SIMM malfunctions.

SIMM Type and SIMM Configuration

•You need to use 72-pin SIMMs with access time of 70ns or less. The SIMM module size may be 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, or 32MB. The MOTIF is designed for use with 32-bit (parity non-type) SIMMs, but can also accept installation of 36-bit (parity-type) SIMMs.

•When purchasing SIMMs, make sure that the SIMM design does not utilize more than 18 memory chips per module. (SIMMs comprised of more than 18 chips do not operate correctly on the MOTIF.)

•SIMMs must be installed in pairs: you can install two SIMMs.

•The MOTIF ships with 4MB of sampling memory installed, and is capable of accessing up to 64MB. See the following illustrations for details. For example, if you add a pair of 16MB SIMMs, for example, you increase the available sampling memory to a total of (4 + 16 x 2 =) 36MB. If you install a pair of 32MB SIMMs, however, the sampling memory size becomes 64MB (and the original 4MB are effectively disabled).
