1.Locate the memory chip sockets on the main system board, shown on page 3-5.

Bank 0 (labeled U24 and U40) contains two chips soldered to the system board, so you cannot add video memory in this bank. Bank 1 (U25 and U41) contains the two sockets closest to the soldered chips. Bank 2 (U32 and U46) is the two middle sockets in each set of three and Bank 3 (U33 and U47) contains the remaining two sockets.

2.If there is an option card in your way, remove it. See page 3-16 for instructions.

Caution

To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the memory chips, ground yourself by touching the metal surface on the inside of the computer’s back panel. Then remain as stationary as possible while you install them.

3.Remove the memory chips from their package and inspect each one. The pins should point inward at slightly less than a 90 angle.

If any of the pins are bent, straighten them gently with your fingers or with small tweezers to align them with the other pins. Be careful when you do this; the pins are fragile and can break off easily.
