Expanding memory
You can install additional random-access memory (RAM) in your computer,
which allows you to work with more programs and larger documents.
Additional memory comes on memory modules (also called SIMMs). The
Technical Informationbooklet that came with your computer describes how
much additional memory can be installed in your Macintosh.
You can also add up to 32 megabytes (MB) of RAM for use exclusively in the
PC environment. See Appendix B, “Installing an Expansion Card or Memory
for the PC Environment,” for further information.
Replacing internal storage devices
Your Macintosh comes with three internal storage devices—a floppy disk
drive, a CD-ROM (compact disc read-only memory) drive, and a hard disk
drive (several capacities are available). If you want to replace your internal
drive, see your Apple-authorized dealer.
WARNING
To avoid damage to your computer, Apple recommends that
only an Apple-certified technician install additional RAM. 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 service. If you attempt to install additional RAM yourself, any
damage you may cause to your equipment will not be covered by the
limited warranty on your computer. See an Apple-authorized dealer or
service provider for information about this or any other warranty
question.
