Important Note : Turn off the power before installing or replacing any
component.
INSTALLING RAM MODULES
HIPPO COM has eight 30-pin SIMM sockets on board for
SIMM modules memory. Whenever you add memory to the
motherboard, install four 30-pin SIMM modules at the same time. Also
make sure that the chips on the modules face towards the slot for memory
expansion board. The modules should be locked by the sockets. Please
check carefully before turning on the power. Otherwise, the system will
not work properly.
To install a module, the module edge is angled into the socket's
contact and then the module is pivoted into position, where the locking
latches will secure it. If the module edge is not completely inserted into
the socket, it cannot be pivoted to be in vertical position and should be
dragged out and re-inserted again. Do not force the module into the
SIMM socket. It will damage the locking latches.
The modules should be locked by the locking latches of the
sockets firmly. Please check carefully before turning on the power.
Otherwise, the system will not work properly.
