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, lMB, or

4MB

SIMMs, as described in this section.

Caution

It is best to have your dealer install memory modules for

you because they can be damaged easily if installed

incorrectly. If you prefer, you can install them yourself by
carefully following the instructions in this section.
However, you could transmit an electrostatic discharge
and damage your components; so read this entire section

before you begin.

Before you install SIMMs, check the following guidelines to
ensure that they will work properly:

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.

The Equity 320sx PLUS can use any SIMM that complies
with industry standards; however, you should use Epson

SIMM option kits to ensure reliability and compatibility.

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.
