Video Memory (Netfinity 7000 - 8651)

•  Depending on the server model, the server  system board comes with either 512 KB or 1 MB  of preinstalled video memory.
•  If the server has a 1 MB memory buffer, the  server controller will support high-resolution  graphics and text modes with 132 columns.
•  If the server has 512 KB of preinstalled video  memory, you can increase the memory buffer  size to 1 MB by installing a 40-pin, 256 KB,  16-bit, 70 ns, complementary metal oxide  semiconductor (CMOS) dynamic random-access  memory (DRAM) module with Fast Page Mode,  such as Samsung KM416C256AJ-7, Hitachi  HM514260AJ7R, or equivalent.

1.  Remove both processor boards to allow you to  access the DRAM on the system board. (See 'Processor or Memory Board'.)
2.  Install the DRAM in the socket:
   1.  Locate the dot -2- on the DRAM.
   2.  Carefully align the dot on the DRAM with the  beveled corner of the video-memory socket -1- on  the system board. (There is also a dot -2- on  the system board at the beveled corner of the  socket to help you align the DRAM correctly.)
   3.  Press the DRAM down firmly into the socket.
    
   
3.  If you are also installing or removing a  microprocessor or memory module kits, do so now,  otherwise, continue with this procedure.
4.  Reinstall the processor boards and the board-support panel.

•  When you install processor boards in the  server, be sure that they are completely and  correctly seated in the system-board  connectors before you apply power. (The  latches on the boards will be horizontal.)  Incomplete insertion might cause damage to  the system board or the processor boards  that you are installing.
•  Make sure you orient the processor board  correctly before pressing it into its  connector. Failure to do so could damage  the processor board or the connector on the  system board.
