before you can add 36-bit parity SIMMs.)

CAUTION: To avoid corrosion between
different metals, only use tin-plated SIMM sticks.
SIMM sticks must have a speed of 70 nanoseconds
(ns). Slower SIMMs are not supported.
SIMM sticks are installed in two SIMM sockets on the
system board and increase the total system high-speed
memory. The system supports up to 64 MB of high-speed
memory.
