Installing L2 Cache
Your computer comes standard with 256 KB of L2 cache. You can replace the
module to increase the L2 cache size to 512 KB. For the latest information on an L2
cache option, contact an IBM representative by calling one of the phone numbers in
“Available Options and Features” on page 2.
Note:
Modules must not exceed a height of 2.90 cm (1.14 in.) or a width of 11.05
cm (4.35 in.).
Before you begin
Read “Electrical Safety” on page 3 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices”
on page 4.
Turn off the computer and all other connected devices.
Disconnect all cables attached to the computer and remove the computer
cover (see “Disconnecting Cables and Removing the Cover” on page 5).
Locate the L2 cache connector on the system board. Refer to “Identifying
Parts on the System Board” on page 7.
If you have the 3-bay design computer, remove the 3.5-inch drive bracket.
For more information, see steps 1 and 2 on page 45.
If an adapter impedes your access to the L2 cache connector, remove it. For
more information, see “Removing an Adapter” on page 32.
