Adding Memory
In the future you may want to install memory modules to expand the
functionality of your computer. You can increase memory up to 256 MB
(128MB x 2), by installing optional memory modules. 128 MB of memory
are already installed (64MB x 2). You can add an expansion memory
module in a slot. 128 MB expansion memory modules are available as
optional memory modules.
❑
The procedures described below assume familiarity with the general
terminology associated with personal computers and with the safety
practices and regulatory compliance required for using and
modifying electronic equipment.
❑
Disconnect the system from its power source and from any
telecommunications links, networks, or modems before you open the
system or follow any of the procedures described below. Failure to do
so may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
❑
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage memory modules 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.
✍
The size of your memory may differ if you purchased a specially configured system.

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