Removing an Option Card
You may need to remove an option card to access components
on the main system board or if you no longer need it. Refer to
the illustrations under “Installing an Option Card” for your
computer type as you follow these steps:
1. If you are removing a card from the tower computer or from
the three-slot side on the slimline computer, first remove
the retaining screw securing the option card to the
computer. Then pull the card straight out of the slot.
2. If you are removing a card from the two-slot side on the
slimline computer, first remove the slot cover bracket. Then
pull the card straight out of the slot.
3. If you are not installing another option card, replace the
option slot cover, the slot cover bracket (if necessary), and
retaining screw.
4. Replace the computer’s cover as described under “Replacing
the Cover.” Then see “Post-installation Procedures” for
instructions on configuring your computer without your
option card.
Adding Video Memory
Your computer comes with 1MB of video memory. You can
increase your video memory to 2MB by installing two 512KB,
40-pin SOJ flat pack video DRAM chips. (You cannot increase
your video memory by installing just one chip.) Additional
video memory is useful for running graphics-intensive
applications or for supporting high resolutions with many
colors.
