This chapter contains instructions for installing a PCI card or a communication card. To install a video input card or a TV/FM tuner card (if you don’t already have these cards installed), follow the instructions that came with the kit or card.
WARNING To avoid damaging your computer and expansion card, do not attempt to install any expansion card without first checking the documentation for that card. If the documentation specifies that an Apple-certified technician must install the card (usually because
the installation requires special training or tools), consult the service and support information that came with your computer for instructions on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for assistance. If you attempt to install the card yourself, any damage you may cause to your computer or card will not be covered by the limited warranty on your computer. If the card is not an Apple-labeled product, contact Apple directly to see if you can install the card yourself. See the service and support information that came with your computer for a telephone number to contact Apple.
About memory
You can install additional memory—dynamic random-access memory (DRAM)—in your computer. DRAM allows you to work with more programs and larger documents. Additional memory comes in packages called Dual Inline Memory Modules, or DIMMs. Altogether, you can install a maximum of 136 megabytes (MB) of DRAM in this Macintosh model. For additional processing power, you can also install an optional High Performance Module (256K level 2 cache) in the cache slot.
For more information about memory, see the “Memory” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
