Rich, I am trying to use the on-board video. Upon opening the case I
noticed that there is no cards in slots J0406.

If this where the VSIMMs would be installed?

Do they need to be installed in pairs or can I install a single VSIMM?

I am also assume that I can use a 8mb VSIMM Card P/N 501-2482 correct?

The card would plug into one of the available VSIMM slots and extend and
plug into the memory slots.

Sorry for posting the image. I thought that it would help in diagnosing the
system.

I am starting to learn Solaris and I am faily new.

Thanks again,

Bernie

There are two wider slots at the back end. You can have either
1 8MB VSIMM or up to 2 4MB VSIMMs. You can find more help at
http://sunhelp.org or look at the field engineer's handbook
at http://sunsolve.sun.com

You can have just the one.

That sounds correct but look it up.
