NOTES:
·
Any
2-, 4-, 8-, 16-, or 32-MB industry standard 70-ns SIMM may be added in pairs to
expand the memory of this unit to a maximum of 128-MB in the 486 based unit or
136-/144-MB in the Pentium units.
·
Memory
modules must be installed two at a time of equal size and type in slots 1 &
2, then 3 & 4 in the 486 based units. If four 32-MB SIMMs are used, it will
disable the 8-MB memory that is soldered on the processor board.
