Flash Cache Module

The Flash Cache Module (FCM) is an internal flash drive that helps Microsoft Windows Vista™ improve the performance of your computer. If you ordered an FCM with your computer, the card is already installed.

NOTE: Windows® XP does not support an FCM. You can have an FCM installed when running Windows XP but it will have no effect on your computer’s performance.

Removing the FCM

1Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 161.

2Turn the computer over and remove the Mini-Card cover.

3Ground yourself by touching one of the metal connectors on the back of the computer.

NOTE: If you leave the area, ground yourself again when you return to the computer.

4Release the FCM by pushing the metal securing brackets away from the card until the card pops up slightly.

5Remove the FCM.
