Installing Additional memory
Installing Additional memory
Before installing memory modules, perform the procedure described in
Removing the Main Tray Assembly on page 111.
When you have completed changing your workstation’s memory configura-
tion perform the procedure described in Replacing the Main Tray Assembly
on page 112.
Take a moment to read over the following important notes about installing
memory.
• Before you attempt to install additional memory modules in your B132L/
B132L+/B160L/B180L workstation, use the information described in Appendix
D, “Boot Console Interface,” to determine the current memory configuration for
this workstation.
• Read over the steps involved in installing memory modules before you begin.
• You must insert memory modules in pairs of equal size.
• Modules should be inserted in the lowest numbered memory pair first then in nu-
merical order. For example, install memory in 0A and 0B first, then 1A and 1B,
and 2A and 2B. You must also install the largest memory modules first. For ex-
ample, install 64 Mbyte module pairs, then 32 Mbyte module pairs, then 16
Mbyte module pairs, and so on. Note that the B180L supports the use of 128
Mbyte modules. Refer to Figure 42 for memory pair numbering and location.
• When you have finished installing additional memory modules, use the Boot
Console Interface to verify that they are seen by the workstation.
You may need to remove existing memory modules and move them to a dif-
ferent location when changing your workstation’s memory configuration.
Use the following procedure to remove memory modules. Use the procedure
in the subsection entitled Installing Memory Modules on page 141 to install
memory modules.
