1.6 Installing system memory (SODIMMs)
You can install anywhere from 8 to 256 MB of SDRAM into your
PCA-6751 Series card. The card provides two 144-pin SODIMM
sockets. Each socket accepts 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 MB 3.3 V power
level SODIMMs. If only one SODIMM module is installed, it may be
installed in either SODIMM socket on the solder side of the
PCA-6751 Series card.
Note: PCA-6751 Series cards only support SDRAM
SODIMM modules. EDO SODIMM is not supported.
1.6.1 Installing SODIMMs
Note: The modules can only fit into a socket one way.
Their gold pins must point down into the SODIMM
socket.
The procedure for installing SODIMMs appears below. Please follow
these steps carefully.
1. Make sure that all power supplies to the system are switched off.
2. Install the SODIMM card. Install the SODIMM so that its gold
pins point down into the SODIMM socket.
3. Slip the SODIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and
carefully fit the bottom of the card against the connectors.
4. Gently push the SODIMM into a perpendicular position until the
clips on the ends of the SODIMM sockets snap into place.
5. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all
connector contacts touch. The SODIMM should not move around in
its socket.
