Chapter 7 - How to Add System Cache Memory

Secondary cache memory can speed up memory intensive

applications and greatly enhance your CPU’s performance.

You add cache memory by adding a single in-line memory

module (SIMM) into the secondary system cache SIMM socket

on the mainboard. Your system mainboard will hold one cache

SIMM of 64-bit SRAM.

Note: System Cache SIMMs are not the same as RAM memory SIMMs.

Do not try to install cache SIMMs in your RAM memory sockets, or

RAM SIMMs in your cache SIMM socket.

Although installing secondary cache memory is easy and

straightforward, a few simple precautions will ease the

installation. Before you begin, make note of your system’s

current SETUP parameters. You can access the SETUP screen

by pressing F2 at boot. Copy the SETUP parameters to a piece

of paper (or use Shft-Print Screen to print them out on your

printer).

Also, all SIMMs are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Be

sure to use an anti-static wrist band and ground yourself by

touching the computer case before you touch the mainboard or

handle any chips.

To install secondary cache memory:

1. Turn off the system power and unplug the AC power cord.

Remove system cover (see Opening the Case, earlier).

2. Locate the secondary system cache memory SIMM socket.

The figure above shows where to find the socket on the

mainboard.
