Basics Overview - 1 Overview The Power Macintosh 8600, 9600, and Workgroup Server 9650 computers share the same housing. These systems feature a chassis design that allows you to access the logic board and its components (including the plug-in microprocessor card) simply by removing the side access panel. This flexible design makes these systems easy to service and upgrade.

Basics Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) - 14 Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) The computers in this manual ship with extended data output (EDO) DRAM dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) instead of DRAM SIMMs. Whereas SIMMs have 72 pins, DIMMs have 168 pins. The extra pins provide a 64-bit data path, compared to a 32-bit data path for SIMMs. In addition, DIMMs do not have to be installed in pairs like the SIMMs on earlier Macintosh models. (However, to take advantage of memory

Basics Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) - 15 Important: The Power Macintosh 8600 Series computers also use VRAM DIMMs (112-pin 70 ns or faster) instead of VRAM SIMMs. The VRAM SIMMs used in earlier Power Macintosh models are not compatible. Note: While the Power Macintosh 8600 and 9600 Series and Workgroup Server 9650 computers ship with EDO DIMMs, the computers’ memory controller treats EDO DIMMs like fast-paged (FPM) DIMMs. You can therefore use either EDO or fast-paged DI

You can increase the computers’ DRAM to a total of 512 MB using 5-volt, 64-bit-wide, 168-pin, extended data output (EDO) or fast-paged mode (FPM), 70 ns DIMMs. The Power Macintosh 9600 and Workgroup Server 9650 logic board has 12 DRAM DIMM slots, each with a 64-bit data bus. You can increase the computers’ DRAM to a total of 768 MB us

Basics Memory Configurations - 17 wish to take advantage of the computer’s interleaving capability, which provides maximum performance, you must install the DIMMs in matching pairs and in paired slots. Note: Memory interleaving allows the computer to read or write to its memory while other memory reads or writes are occurring, thus providing for faster performance. For a pair of DIMMs to function as a single 128-bit wide pair, they must be the same type and size. Note: DIMMs purc
