If you are using a different operating system, see its
documentation for partitioning and formatting the hard drive.
Do not perform a low-level format on an AST IDE drive; you
might damage the format data. IDE drives sold by AST have
been low-level formatted at the factory.
You do not need to perform FDISK or FORMAT on the
hard drive that came with your computer. If you ever need
to repartition or reformat this hard drive, back up its data
first. Partitioning and formatting a hard drive deletes all
of the data on it.
Adding System Memory
By installing SIMMs on the system board, you can increase the
amount of system memory to a maximum 128 MB. This
generally improves computer performance, especially for
graphics- and computation-intensive programs.
Purchase SIMMs from your AST reseller. Use only the SIMMs
that AST has specified for your computer. Otherwise, your
computer may malfunction. Make sure the SIMMs meet the
following specifications:
•
72 tin-plated pins
•
32 bits
•
Single- or double-sided
•
+5V
•
70 ns fast page mode or 60 ns EDO DRAM.
Memory Configurations
The system board has two banks of SIMMs, Bank 0 and Bank 1.
You can use SIMMs of the following sizes:
•
4 MB (1M x 32)
•
8 MB (2M x 32)
•
16 MB (4M x 32)
•
32 MB (8M x 32).
