2 How to Install Accessories In Your PC

Installing Memory

Installing Memory

Static electricity can damage electronic components.

Turn all equipment OFF. Don’t let your clothes touch the accessory. To equalize the static electricity, rest the accessory bag on top of the PC while you are removing the accessory from the bag. Handle the accessory as little as possible and with care.

Installing Main Memory

Your PC is supplied with main memory. If you need more main memory to run your application software, you can install up to a total of

192 MB (6 x 32 MB).

Main memory is available in modules of 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB, or 32 MB. There are three memory “banks”, with each bank requiring two memory modules. You must install identical modules as pairs in each bank.

Bank1

Memory Modules You can Install

 

 

A1 and A2

Comes preloaded with either 16 MB (2 x 8 MB) or 32 MB (2 x 16 MB).

 

 

B1 and B2

Any pair of identical modules.

 

 

C1 and C2

Any pair of identical modules.

 

 

1.The letters “A”, “B”, and “C” are used for reference only in this manual. These letters do not appear on the system board. The bank identified here as “C” is the one closest to the processor.

Best performance is achieved if you install memory in bank “A” first, then bank “B”, and in bank “C” last.
