2.7 Installing system memory (SODIMMs)
You can install anywhere from 32 to 512 MB of SDRAM into your PCI-6871 Se-
ries card. The card provides two 144-pin SODIMM sockets. Each socket ac-
cepts 32/64/128/256/512 MB 3.3 V power level SODIMMs. If only one SODIMM
module is installed, it may be installed in either SODIMM socket on the solder
side of the PCI-6871 Series card.
