tricity before opening the computer case.

Always wear gloves to avoid injury when disassembling the computer. Opening and closing the computer case Remove 3 screws from the cover and then push the cover as the direction of the arrow Push the cover in the direction of arrow as it aligns the groove of computer cover with body shown on the picture and fasten 3 screws. Make sure that there is no metallic object left inside the computer before closing the case. There is the risk of electric shock or fire. 62 System Expansion 6-2.

For removing CPUs in these models, release the clamp on the other side first. For installing CPUs in these models, lock this clamp first. System Expansion 67 6-5. Increasing the memory If you run out of memory while using the computer, you may want to increase the amount of memory in your computer. About memory Your computer uses DDR(Double Data Rate) SDRAM DIMM(Dual In-Line Memory Module) with 184 pins. Your computer supports Unbuffered DDR SDRAM DIMM of 256MB up to 512MB in size in each socket, and 2GB total. Note

Windows 95, 98SE, ME supports memory up to 512MB total. Increasing the memory beyond 512MB in these systems may cause errors while using the computer. Before increasing the memory

Always wear gloves to avoid injury when disassembling the computer

Static electricity can damage memory modules be sure to minimize the static electricity when replacing memory.

Make sure to replace the memory of the same type as the installed memory.

DIMM is different from SIMM in that it is configured for 64 bit operation; therefore, your computer can operate with only one DIMM installed. Note

Use a 2.5V DDR SDRAM DIMM.(The shape of the memory may be different depending on the model) DDR SDRAM enhances the rate of data transmission of the SDRAM and looks different from SDRAM. DDR 68 System Expansion

Your computer supports PC2700/3200 DDR memory.

Use Unbuffered DDR SDRAM DIMM only to increase the memory.

Dual channel mode operates when each identical memory is installed in the same color of DIMM slot. FSB Frequency Supported memory type 533/800MHz PC2700/3200-DDR SDRAM 333/400MHz Purchasing a memory Check the type of memory installed in your computer and refer to the memory con-

figuration chart before purchasing a memory. Specification: PC2700/3200(184 pin DDR SDRAM DIMM) Speed: 333MHz(166MHz X 2), 400MHz(200MHz X 2) Size: 256MB, 512MB Memory configuration chart Refer to the Memory configuration chart to increase the memory.

Dual channel improves the efficiency of the system.

Each identical memory should be used for dual channel setting.

Dual channel setting is recommended. SINGLE DUAL DUAL SINGLE DUAL DUAL DUAL DUAL System Expansion 69
