Installing Memory Expansion
The MPC2000XL’s internal memory can be expanded to 32Mbytes using SIMMs. The
MPC2000XL comes with 2Meg of memory ‘hardwired’ and there are two slots in which you can
install SIMMs chips. The SIMMs board is inserted at a slight angle and then pushed back where it
clips into place. Some SIMMs boards have the memory chips mounted on both sides sometimes.
However, the boards can only be inserted one way so you shouldn’t have any problems. Be
careful not to force them into place otherwise they may snap.
SIMMs operate at different speeds. SIMMs that operate at at a speed of 70nS (nanoseconds) or
faster are recommended.
SIMMs also come in various sizes. Please note the following memory configurations that are
possible in the MPC2000XL.
* When 32M SIMMs are installed, the 2Meg on the MAIN board is ignored.
Note: Memory chips are sensitive to static electricity. Please observe the following
safety precautions:
•
Unplug the MPC2000XL before installing the board(s).
• The SIMMs may come with a special wrist strap to discharge static electricity.
We suggest you attach the strap to the MPC2000XL’s case. If a wrist strap or
any other such accessory is not supplied, try discharging any static by touch-
ing an earthed metal object before handling the boards.
• Always handle the memory board by its edges - avoid touching the compo-
nents on the board.
•
To minimise static electricity, avoid carpeted areas and low humidity areas.
IC-M2TC
You should take care that the IC is in the correct position when installing. Insert the IC according
to the direction of the socket.
EB16
Connect this to the J330 connector on the PC MAIN board and secure it with the provided screw.
FMX008M
Connect to the provided relay board and secure it with the provided screw.
(Note: Installation without using the RELAY board may cause damage to the FMX008M board or
MPC2000XL’s PC MAIN board.)
IB-M208P
Remove the cover on the REAR PANEL and install as shown in the illustration. Next, secure it with
the provided screws and connect the cable to the P340 connector on the PC MAIN board.
(
Note: Make sure that the IC522 and Ferrite Core (attached to the connecting cable) components
do not touch the bottom plate.)
