System Overview
c
Whenever you open the cover of the IBM 6868 system to repair or
replace an option, be aware that the presence of +5V standby power
might result in damage to your hardware unless you unplug the
electrical cord from the system before opening the cover.
Microprocessor Support
Avid ships their IBM 6868 systems with one microprocessor, and does
not support the use of a multiprocessor system.
Memory Support
The memory used by the IBM 6868 system has the following
requirements:
• 2.5-V, 184-pin, Rambus
®
inline memory modules (RIMM).
• Error correcting code (ECC) or non-ECC dynamic random access
memory (RDRAM).
• Memory modules are available in 64-MB, 128-MB, 256-MB, and
512-MB RIMMs for a maximum of 2 GB, as supported by IBM
• Memory is divided into two channels (with two connectors in
each channel) and each channel must contain the same amount of
memory.
• The memory modules are plugged into the four connectors on the
system board. Any connector that does not contain a RIMM must
contain a continuity-RIMM (C-RIMM).
• Avid Xpress requires a minimum of 256 KB of memory.
c
See the User Guide IntelliStation M Pro Type 6868 Professional
Workstation for instructions on how to install the RIMM memory.
Improper removal or installation can cause failure of the RIMM
memory.
