The cache SIMM will engage the retainer clips and click into position, locking in place. When properly
installed, the components on the cache SIMM module will be facing in toward the other memory
SIMMs.
Installing Memory SIMMs
The AM-6000 supports a minimum of 8MB and a maximum of 512MB of main memory. Memory is
implemented as paired SIMM modules (of equal capacity) of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, or
128MB each. Use 60ns SIMMs only; 70ns SIMMs will not work. The following table shows the
allowable memory SIMM configurations (above 256MB, only some configurations are shown—others
are possible):
128MB memory SIMMs are supported only if your AM-176 board is revision B06 or C04 or later.
