Adding Memory

You can increase your system’s memory by installing optional memory modules. Your system comes with 128 MB of installed memory, which can be increased up to 256 MB (128 MB x 2). You can add an expansion memory module in a slot.

Up to 128 MB expansion memory modules are available as optional memory modules.

✍Make sure you observe the proper safety precautions when you install a memory module in your computer. See the bulleted list below. Be careful when adding memory. Mistakes when installing or removing a memory module may cause malfunction.

If you are using only one memory module, you must use the slot closest to the front of the computer.

❑Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives and other components. Perform the procedures described below only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area, and do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example).

❑Ground yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while performing the procedure.

❑Do not open the memory module package until you are ready to install the module. The package protects the module from ESD.

❑Use the special bag for preventing ESD or use aluminum foil when you store the memory module.
