Memory Expansion
All servers except the quad-processor configurations come standard with one
memory module containing 32 MB (four 8-MB SIMMs) of high speed SIMM memory.
The network ready and high availability quad-processor configurations come standard
with one memory module containing 64 MB (eight 8-MB SIMMs) of SIMM memory.

with one memory module containing 64 MB (eight 8-MB SIMMs) of SIMM memory.
Memory can be expanded up to 384 MB on a single module or up to 768 MB using
two modules. Optional SIMMs are installed in SIMM sockets on the memory
modules. Optional 8-, 16-, and 32-MB SIMMs (36-bit, 70 ns) are available from NEC.

configuration using the bootable System Configuration Utility (SCU).
The SCU displays a series of system parameters, including system memory, IDE
controller, SCSI controller, serial and parallel ports, and passwords. You can select
the appropriate option of each parameter for your application. When finished, save the
configuration to CMOS RAM and NVRAM. The system reboots with the new
