III. INSTALLATION (System Memory) III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (SIMM & DIMM) This motherboard supports four 72-pin, 32-bit SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Mod- ules) of 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. The SIMMs can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (FPM) (Asymmetric or Sym- metric), or Enhanced Data Out (EDO) (BEDO & Parity are not supported). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each Row (refer to motherboard layout for Row locations) contains 64-bits

III. INSTALLATION (System Memory) III. INSTALLATION DIMM Installation Insert the modules as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the modules will only fit in the orientation as shown. SIMM modules have the same pin contacts on both sides. DIMM modules are longer and have dif- ferent pin contacts on each side and therefore have a higher pin density. 12 R 20 Pins 60 Pins 88 Pins Lock 168-Pin DIMM Sockets Use only 3.3-volt unbuffered DIMMs. The notch in the
