    Hi all,


     From The page 1-13, second paragraph of " DECstation 5000 model 240 
    maintenance guide" :  


   "... The base system module has 15 memory module connectors.
    The following memory module types are supported:

      . 8-megabyte SIMM (MS02-AA)
      . 32-megabyte SIMM (MS02-CA)
      . 1-megabyte NVRAM module (54-20948-01)

    All SIMMs intalled in a system must (!) contain the same amount of
memory.
   Do not mix 8-megabytes and 32-megabytes SIMMs in a single system (
!!!).
   The SIMMs must be installed starting with memory slot 0, nearest the
back 
   of the system. Console mode requires one SIMM installed in the base
system.
   .... "


     Good luck.  :)
