MEMORY EXPANSION
Please take note that SIMM modules of the most different producers are on the market which
do not keep the imprinted speed. In particular SIMM modules bearing the imprint e.g.
LaserPrinter Memory (or similar phantasy labels) are unsuited as memories for computer
systems. phase 5 digital products principally recommends not to use such SIMM-modules.
INSERTION OF SIMM-MODULES
Put the CYBERSTORM PPC on a plane, stable underground. Be aware that sensitive
surfaces could be scratched by the pins on the bottom when mounting the memory module,
therefore we recommend to use e.g. a magazine as support. Also do not press the board
onto the underground as there are SMD components mounted on the bottom side. Now align
the CYBERSTORM PPC Turbo Board so that the 68060 CPU points towards the left. The
memory SIMMS have a recess opening on one side of the contact strip, so that they can not
be mounted upside down. This recess opening must be at the left side when mounting.
Insert the SIMM at an angle of approx. 40° flush into the socket, thus the module can be
inserted without problems. Then softly press down both upper corners of the SIMM with your
thumbs, until it audibly locks into place. Take care that the metal hooks left and right besides
the fixation holes both lock in over the board of the SIMMS. Keep in mind for all handling
steps that the SIMMs must not be subject to strong mechanical stress.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The "PowerUP® System Disk" provided with the CYBERSTORM PPC indudes the
necessary libraries and drivers to run the PowerPC processor and the 68k companion
processor, as well as some tools which are helpful for the operation of the boards.
ADVICE
The installation of the software must be done BEFORE the CYBERSTORM PPC
is installed in your computer.
The installation of the software will be done using an installation script. Insert the "PowerUp®
System Disk" provided with your CYBERSTORM PPC into your floppy disk drive, and open
the directory on the workbench via a double-click on the disk icon. Before you start to install
the CYBERSTORM PPC software, open the "ReadMe" file on this disk via a double-click on
the file icon. This text file contains the latest and necessary information about the software
and the installation of the software. The software will be installed by double-clicking on the
INSTALL icon. The different software programs which are being installed have own
documentation files, if necessary, in form of additional ReadMe files on the disk.
