4 Upgrading your computer 66
Installing additional memory
The three 168-pin sockets on the mainboard support Synchronous
Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM)-type DIMMs. You may
install 32-MB, 64-MB, 128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB or 1-GB single and
double density DIMMs for a maximum memory capacity of 3 GB.
The SDRAM DIMMs should work under 3.3 volts; 5-volt memory devices
are not supported. PC-100 (100MHz) and PC-133 (133 MHz) SDRAM are
supported. Contact your dealer for qualified DIMM vendors.
Caution! Do not install and use both PC-100 and PC-133 SDRAM
together. Such a combination might cause your computer to
malfunction.
Each of the DIMM sockets is independent from each other. This
independence allows you to install DIMMs with different capacities to
form different configurations.
To remove a DIMM
Note: Observe the “Installation precautions” on page 49 when
installing or removing a computer component. Also, make sure
that you have removed the top cover (see
page 51).
1. Press the holding clips on both sides of the DIMM socket outward
to release the DIMM (a).
2. Gently pull the DIMM out of the socket (b).
