Expansion Card Power Requirements

The combined power consumption of expansion cards must not exceed the limits specified for your Macintosh model. For details, see the Technical Information booklet that came with your computer.

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 for assistance. If you attempt to install the card yourself, any damage you may cause to the computer or card will not be covered by the limited warranty on your computer. If the card is not an Apple-labeled product, check with an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider to see if you can install it yourself.

You can add memory—dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) or video memory—to your computer in packages called Dual Inline Memory Modules, or DIMMs.
