Installing Optional
Cache Memory
(Pentium Systems
Only)
Cache memory is very fast pipeline burst memory used for
temporarily storing data for fast access by the processor.
Depending on the model, your computer can be upgraded with
an optional 256-kilobyte pipeline burst L2 cache module on the
system board, increasing total cache memory to 512 Kbytes.
(On Pentium II systems, cache is integrated into the processor
module and is therefore not upgradeable.) To install an optional
cache module, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the front bezel and any expansion boards that
block access to the processor.
2. Remove the two screws from the diskette drive and slide
the drive cage back towards the inside of the chassis to
release the latches.
3. Lift the assembly up to remove it from the chassis.
4. Install a 256-kilobyte cache module onto the cache
connector.
