Expanding the Memory
Expanding the Memory
The Fantom-S/Fantom-S88 comes with 32 MB of memory into which
audio samples can be loaded. However, in some cases, 32 MB of
memory will be insufficient for loading large amounts of data. In
such a case, you will have to add separately sold memory (DIMM).
Memory can be expanded up to 64/128/256/512 MB.
Before expanding the memory, consult with your retailer, the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor.
* If a 512 MB DIMM is installed, the result will be the same as if a 256
MB DIMM were installed (p. 195 SRX/RAM Mode).
Precautions for Expanding
Memory
901
• To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be
caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following
whenever you handle the board.
1
• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object
(such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static
electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.
2
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid
touching any of the electronic components or connectors.
5
• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and
put the board back into it whenever you need to store or
transport it.
• Use a Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw
(a number 2 screwdriver, Fantom-S only). If an unsuitable screw-
driver is used, the head of the screw may be stripped.
• To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To
tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get
damaged.
