Note
It is best not to add memory to the, Equity 386/25 by
installing an optional memory card. Any memory card you
could install is 16-bit and would cause your computer
to work slower. Using memory modules is more efficient
since you do not need to use one of your option slots to add
memory.
Adding Memory Modules
The standard Equity 386/25 system comes with 2MB of memory.
You can add SIMMs (single inline memory modules) to increase
the amount of memory in the computer. With added SIMMs,
the total amount of memory in your computer must be one of
the following: 3MB, 4MB, 6MB, 8MB, 9MB, 10MB, 12MB, or
16MB.
Your dealer installs SIMMs on the SIMM card that comes with
your computer. Each SIMM must have an access speed of 80ns
(nanoseconds) or faster to operate properly. Make sure your
dealer uses the correct type of SIMMs.
There are 16 SIMM sockets on the SIMM card organized in
four banks consisting of four sockets each. Each socket can
contain either one 256KB or one 1MB SIMM. You must,
however, add memory modules according to certain guidelines
to preserve the 32-bit access capability of the Equity 386/25.
Here are the guidelines:
All the SIMMs you install must have the same access speed.
You must fill up any memory bank you use. Since each bank
has four sockets, you must install four SIMMs to fill up the
bank.
