7.Lift the entire subassembly out of the computer and carefully place it on your work surface.
Adding Memory Modules
Your computer comes with 1MB of memory which is soldered directly onto the main system board. By installing SIMMs (single inline memory modules), you can increase the amount of memory in your computer up to 5MB. (You can add a memory card, however, if you want to expand your computer’s memory up to 16MB.)
Caution
It is best to have your dealer install memory modules for you because they can be damaged easily if installed incorrectly. If you prefer, you can install them yourself by carefully following the instructions in this section. However, you could transmit an electrostatic discharge and damage your components; so read this entire section before you begin.
Before you install SIMMs, check the following guidelines to ensure that they will work properly:
0Use SIMMs that operate at 100ns (nanosecond) or faster access speed. Be sure all the SIMMs operate at the same speed.
0Use the correct SIMM configuration to add the amount of memory you want. See the table on the next page.
Once you have the SIMMs you need, you or your dealer can install them in your computer. If you are going to install them yourself, follow the instructions in this section.
