System Memory

Both Type A-1 and Type A-2 system boards support 168-Pin 60 ns, Gold,
SDRAM, 64 bit Dual Inline Memory Module, (DIMM).

Maximum memory supported by Type A-1 and Type A-2 system boards is
384 MB.

DIMM Identification

168-pin memory DIMMs can usually be identified by the information on the
chip modules. (for example,

2Mx64, 6

ns, EDO

). To determine the DIMM

capacity from the above example, divide 64 bits by 8 bytes and multiply that
answer by 2M, hence, DIMM = 16 MB. 1Mx32 is Non parity and 1Mx36 is
Parity. DIMMs that are not clearly labeled cannot be identified other than by
part number. Consult the DIMM manufacturer documentation to identify
DIMMs.
