Yamaha Music Production Synthesizer Manual Do Utilizador

Fasten the mLAN8E to the MOTIF. Flip the unit 
over, so that each connector section of the 
mLAN8E can be seen from the back side of 
MOTIF.  Supporting the unit with one hand, 
attach it to the rear of the MOTIF with the three 
screws you removed earlier.  If you start replacing 
the screws from the center screw, it will be easy to 
replace the remaining screws.

Let the ribbon cable fall into place between the 
mLAN8E and the circuit board of the MOTIF.

Re-install the cover you removed in earlier steps, 
in reverse order.

You can increase the MOTIF’s sampling memory by 
installing commercially available SIMMs (single
in-line memory modules). This section explains how to 
carry out the installation.

The MOTIF does not necessarily support all 
commercially available SIMMs. Before purchasing 
SIMMs, please consult your Yamaha dealer or an 
authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the 
Owner’s Manual) for advice.
Note that Yamaha cannot assume responsibility for 
SIMM malfunctions.

• You need to use 72-pin SIMMs with access time of 
70ns or less. The SIMM module size may be 4MB, 
8MB, 16MB, or 32MB. The MOTIF is designed for use 
with 32-bit (parity non-type) SIMMs, but can also 
accept installation of 36-bit (parity-type) SIMMs.

• When purchasing SIMMs, make sure that the SIMM 
design does not utilize more than 18 memory chips per 
module. (SIMMs comprised of more than 18 chips do 
not operate correctly on the MOTIF.)

• SIMMs must be installed in pairs: you can install two 
SIMMs.

• The MOTIF ships with 4MB of sampling memory 
installed, and is capable of accessing up to 64MB. See 
the following illustrations for details. For example, if 
you add a pair of 16MB SIMMs, for example, you 
increase the available sampling memory to a total of 
(4 + 16 x 2 =) 36MB. If you install a pair of 32MB 
SIMMs, however, the sampling memory size becomes 
64MB (and the original 4MB are effectively disabled).
