Installing Expanded
Memory
As mentioned before, MS-DOS only recognizes up to
640K
of
memory. Any memory above and beyond
640K
is
referred to
as
expanded memory.
Some applications like Lotus
1-2-3
and Dbase III make use of
up to 8 megaqytes (8
MB,
or 8,192K)
of
expanded memory.
On your computer system board, there is room for you to add
one megabyte (1 MB) of expanded memory.
You must add expanded memory in increments
of
512K,
so
you
can add
512K
or 1 ME.
As
always,
before you install anything, MAKE SURE .
THE
COMPUTER
IS
UNPLUGGED FROM
THE
WALL OUTLET!
1.
Purchase the correct memory chips. For every
512K
of
expanded memory you install:
Ask your dealer for sixteen
(16)
41256
RAM chips (256K
RAM x
1).
If
you
plan on using RAM parity, you'll need
eighteen instead of sixteen.
Th~
chips must be
150
nanoseconds (150ns) or faster.
2.
Install the chips in the right sockets on the system board.
In the diagram below, notice there are
two
banks of
em.pty
sockets for installing expanded memory. The banks are
labeled, Bank
