Exchanging or Upgrading Internal Memory
Additional memory can be used in the spectrophotometer in case of very fast
repetitive measurements of huge amounts of spectra, e.g. for fast kinetics
measurements. Two sizes of memory are available, 1 MByte memory (part
number 1818-4271) and 4 Mbyte memory (part number 1818-5784).
You can use the following combinations of memory modules: 1 × 1MByte,
2 × 2MByte, 1× 4MByte or 2× 4MByte.
Use the following procedure for removing and replacing memory.
Removing SIMM Memory Modules
1 Turn off the spectrophotometer and disconnect the power cord. Take the
plastic and sheet metal rear covers off, see “Removing and Replacing Covers”
on page 109.
2 Remove any accessory board or MIO board that may be plugged in from the
rear side of the instrument.
Figure 34 Removing MIO or Accessory Boards
3 Remove the upper rear foam block.
4 On the two sides of the SIMM socket, move the two springs in opposite
directions that the memory module is released and you can move the memory
module towards the rear of the spectrophotometer..
