Installing RAM in a Model 350
Assigning the Addresses
The general rule to follow when addressing the RAM is that any board must
be addressed higher in RAM space than any RAM board of smaller capacity
and below any larger RAM. In practice, RAM being added to a computer is
addressed below any existing RAM of the same size, in order to avoid having to
readdress existing RAM boards. You will have to readdress any smaller RAM
boards.
Although that is the general rule, there are some exceptions. For instance, if
you have a 16 Mbyte system made up of 4 and 8 Mbyte boards, they can be
treated as one 16 Mbyte board. The board to be added can then be addressed
as if it were being placed below an existing 16 Mbyte board.
Addressing new RAM boards as well as readdressing smaller existing RAM
boards are covered in this procedure.
1. Copy the numbers from the RAM Board Inventory Table Table 3-3) to
Table 3-6.
Table 3-6.

2. For each 16 Mbyte board already installed in the computer, cross off four of
the 4 Mbyte blocks in Figure 3-6. Start with the first block and work down.
