5/8 LS/VS550 OWNER’S HANDBOOK
1. Turn off the computer and unplug all power cords. Take
suitable anti-static precautions and remove the system unit cover.
2. You may have to remove the floppy disk drive module which
partly restricts access to the memory sockets (first identifying
the way all cables are fitted) by disconnecting the cables,
loosening the screws and lifting out.
3. Check the configuration for the upgrade you intend to install.
It may be necessary to remove all of the existing DIMMs,
before going on to install the new modules.
To install a DIMM
1. Take the module out of its anti-static packaging. Hold it by its
ends and avoid touching the metal contacts.
2. Align with and place carefully above the chosen socket,
ensuring that the socket end clips are not obstructing.
3. Pushing gently on its top corners, press the DIMM into the
socket and make sure the two end clips are snapped into place.
Do not use excessive force
.
4.
If the module will not fit easily, remove it and start again.
5.
Repeat these steps for each module to be installed.
Note
Note
It is not important which memory socket is used first, but it is usual practice
to start with the lowest number bank available (socket MM1).
