US Logic Omni III Cache Memory Faxback Doc. # 17549 The motherboard provides options for configuring the external cache RAM to either 128KB, 256KB, 512KB or 1 MB. Cache Memory Configurations: Each secondary cache memory configuration requires one 15ns tag SRAM and four 15 ns data SRAMs. Cache Configuration ┌─────────────────┬──────────┬──────────────────────┐ │Cache Size │Tag │ SRAM │ │ │U27 │ Bank 0 ││ Bank 1 │ │ │ │ U19-U22 ││ U29-32 │ ├─────────────────┼──────────┼─────────┼┼───────────┤ │128KB │32KB x 8 │32KB x 8 ││ │ │256KB │32KB x 8 │32KB x 8 ││ 32KB x 8 │ │256KB │64KB x 8 │64KB x 8 ││ ┤ │512KB │64KB x 8 │64KB x 8 ││64KB x 8 │ │512KB │128KB x 8 │128KB x 8││ │ │1 MB │128KB x 8 │128KB x 8││128KB x 8 │ └─────────────────┴──────────┴─────────┴┴───────────┘ NOTE: Use chips of the same speed (15ns) throughout the system to avoid memory problems. ┌─────────────────────────┐ │Main Logic Board Layout: │ └─────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ........DRAM............ ........SRAM.......... │ │ . ┌───────────────────┐.

Whenever you handle any option outside of its protective packaging, first discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a protective grounding device or unpainted metal on the rear panel of the system unit. To install SRAMs: 1. Turn off the computer, and disconnect all cables. 2. Discharge any accumulated static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object. Then, open the computer. 3. Remove any expansion adapters installed in the three-slot expansion area by removing the expansion slot screws, disconnecting any data cables, and gently moving each adapter back and forth while pulling it out of the riser card connector. 4. Locate the appropriate SRAM sockets 5. The two rows of pins are probably splayed too far apart and must be angled closer together before installation. Rest the side of the chip on a hard and even surface. Carefully and steadily push down the chip until the pins are at a right angle with the chip body. Repeat for the other side. 6. Align the notch end in each SRAM with the notch on the socket. Being careful not to bend the pins, insert the chip's pins into the corresponding holes in the socket. Press down on the SRAM until it is fully inserted. 7. Set Jumper block for the new configuration. (See Above Chart) 6. Reinstall any expansion adapters you removed. 7. Be sure the internal cables are securely connected and do not cause mechanical interference. Then, close the computer. 8. Reconnect all cables. (CC/tmc-12/04/95)
