Adding Memory Modules
Your computer comes with 2MB of memory soldered directly
onto the main system board. By installing SIMMs (single
inline memory modules), you can increase the memory in
your computer up to 24MB. The first 16MB can be used as
either extended or expanded; any memory above 16MB can
be used only as expanded. You can install 256KB, 1MB, or
4MB SIMMs, as described in this section.
Before you install SIMMs, check the following guidelines to
ensure that they will work properly:
0 Use fast page mode SIMMs that operate at an access speed
of 80ns (nanoseconds) or faster. Be sure all the SIMMs
operate at the same speed.
Q The Equity 386SX/16 PLUS can use any industry standard
SIMM; however, you should use Epson SIMM option kits
to ensure reliability and compatibility.
Q Use the correct SIMM configuration to add the amount of
memory you want. See the table on the next page.
Once you have the SIMMs you need, you or your dealer can
install them in your computer. If you are going to install
them yourself, follow the instructions in this section.
