*128 MB Main Storage (DIMM)

The #3002 plugs directly into the CPU or memory riser card depending on the
processor feature. Must be added in pairs.

Maximum: Six on all processors except the #2385, #2386, and #2388, which
support a maximum of 14 and Dedicated

Domino processors #2408 and #2409, which support a maximum of 12.

The #3002 is a Customer Install Feature for an MES that only includes CIF
features.
