Also, before you install an expansion card, see "Safety First — For You and Your Computer."

To upgrade the video memory, perform the following steps:

1.Remove the computer cover according to the instructions in "Removing the Computer Cover."

2.Remove the expansion-card cage as described in "Removing the Expansion-Card Cage."
