3.3. Installing PCI cards
Install PCI card
1. Find an empty PCI slot on the motherboard.
2. Remove the screw holding the bracket to back panel and remove the bracket.
3. Take the new PCI card from its protective bag.
4. Position the PCI card in the slot and gently press to insert it.
5. Secure the card to your computer with the screw removed earlier.
When you restart the system, BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) will automatically
detect and allocate the resources to the new PCI device.
Remove PCI card
To remove PCI card, you only need to open the computer and remove the
undesired card.
3.4. Installing additional memory
Memory can be upgraded to a maximum of 2 GB. This can be done by adding the
additional 128MB, 256MB, 512MB or 1GB PC 2100 DDR DIMM to two of the
184-pin DDR sockets locate on the motherboard. See below.
Install DDR DIMM
1. Align the DDR DIMM with the socket.
2. Push the DDR DIMM into the socket until the clips lock onto the DDR
DIMM.
Remark: The DDR DIMM sockets are slotted to ensure proper installation. If you
insert a DDR DIMM but it does not fit easily into socket, you may have inserted it
incorrectly. Turn the DDR around and try to insert it again.
Remove DDR DIMM
1. Press the holding clips on both sides of the DDR socket outward to release the
DDR.
2. Gently pull the DDR out from the socket.
To reconfigure your computer
The system will automatically detect the amount of memory installed. Run the
BIOS utility to view the new value for total system memory and make a note of it.
