Installing DIMMs
Adding memory to your device is an easy way to make programs run faster. You
can increase the amount of memory in your device by installing additional
dual-inline memory modules (DIMMs). Your device uses a noninterleaved
memory configuration.
When you install additional memory, note the following information:
Memory modules are installed on the system board in the DIMM slots shown
in Figure 4-5. Devices with a single DIMM should have the module installed
in DIMM slot 1. For devices with two DIMMs, use slots 1 and 3. For devices
with four DIMMs use slots 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Review the memory specifications for your WAE model in the “Appliance
Specifications” section on page A-1. Note the following information
regarding software support:
WAFS software supports up to 1 GB of memory.
ACNS software supports up to 512 MB of memory. ACNS software does
not recognize additional memory over 512 MB.
When you install or remove DIMMS, the configuration information in the
device changes. Therefore, you must change and save the new configuration
information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you
restart the device, the system displays a message indicating that the memory
configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and
choose Save Settings. See Appendix D, “Using the Configuration/Setup
Utility Program,” for more information about using the Configuration/Setup
Utility program.
Figure 4-5 shows the location of the system-board connectors for installing
DIMMs.
