Installing System Memory and Add-On Peripherals

System Memory

System memory devices, commonly known as SIMMs (Single Inline Memory

Modules), are necessary to operate the M6Pi system board. The M6Pi has

four SIMM sockets and may be upgraded to 256 Megabytes of RAM. This

section will explain the type of SIMMs supported, list the rules of adding

memory to the M6Pi, give some examples of common memory configurations,

and show how to physically install the new SIMMs.

SIMMs Supported

The M6Pi supports the following 72 pin, 60ns or 70ns SIMMs:

4MB (1Mx36 or 1Mx32)

8MB (2Mx36 or 2Mx32)

16MB (4Mx36 or 4Mx32)

32MB (8Mx36 or 8Mx32)

64MB (16Mx36 or 16Mx32)

Note:

For long term reliability, Micronics recommends using SIMMs with tin-plated

contacts. The use of gold-plated contacts may conflict with the tin-alloy on

the SIMM socket.

Upgrading Rules

The following is a list of rules to follow when upgrading SIMMs. If you

follow these rules, your upgrade should be trouble-free:

❏ Use 70ns or faster SIMMs.

❏ Upgrade SIMMs one bank at a time. All SIMM sockets must contain

SIMMs of the same size and preferably from the same manufacturer. To

add 16MB of memory to the system board, install two 8MB SIMMs into

the same bank.

❏ When installing SIMMs, fill bank 0, then bank 1.
