Purpose of This MAP
Note: The firmware checkpoint that sent you here could be one of the following:
E122, E213, E214, E220 or E3xx.

General Memory Information
Be sure to unplug the power cable before removing or installing the memory modules
to avoid damage to them.
Model 150 memory modules do not need to be installed in pairs and can be installed
in any slot on the system board. There is no requirement that one slot be installed
before the other.
Refer to “Memory Modules” on page 8-20 for locations of the memory modules and
instructions on module removal and installation.
Note: If the symptom changes, check for loose cards, cables, and obvious
problems. If you do not find the problem, go to “MAP 1540: Minimum Configuration”
on page 2-21.
