Rick Ekblaw opines:
It would appear that U1 manages the 4 SIMMs on the right and
U3 manages the 4 SIMMs on the left, and U2 must be the "memory bus" controller.

3.x Cards used in 4.x Systems
You can physically install an S3.x card in 3AT / 3BT / 3CT / 380 / 390 / 39H
systems. Even though they officially support S4.5 memory, or greater, on these
systems, there is a potential for someone to put S3.x in. The S3.3 cards have
been installed in several instances. They can possibly result in random
checkstops causing a reboot of the machine. Another symptom is that you
may get a 15% INCREASE in processing speed
with S3.x memory. Although this is good (from a speed related viewpoint), it is
unstable (and unsupported).
The deskside (7013) and rack (7015) models that require memory
cards at S4.5 or higher, have a physical interlock in their design to prevent
plugging in lower level cards, but the desktops (7012) do not.

Function of Resistor Explained
The S4.5 and S4.6 memory cards support 2 different FRU number SIMMs that are equivalent.
4MB SIMM: P/N 70f9973 = P/N 12h1677
8MB SIMM: P/N 70f9976 = P/N 12h1678
16MB SIMM: P/N 43g1796 = P/N 12h1679
32MB SIMM: P/N 39h8312 = P/N 12h1680
Note: The FRU p/n12h16XX SIMMs were
developed with a resistor on the SIMM for the older S4.5 noise problem.
39H Limits
The problem of LED 888/103 145/912 on boot at minimum config with the memory
card plugged in and the 8 SIMMs installed on the CPU of the 39H, will occur if
the SIMM FRUs p/n12h16XX numbers are installed on the CPU.
Note: The base card and CPU must both be
fully populated with the same size SIMMs. The FRU p/n12h16XX SIMMs were
developed with a resistor on the SIMM for the older S4.5 noise problem.
They were not approved for installation on CPUs
that support SIMM modules.
