Installing DIMMs or a High Performance Module (level 2 cache)

There are specific types of DIMMS and High Performance Modules that
work in your computer. Refer to the information provided earlier in this
appendix and to the Technical Information booklet that came with your
computer for information about the kinds of DIMMs and High Performance
Module you can use in your computer model.

Removing a DRAM DIMM

To upgrade your computer to the maximum amount of memory, you may
want to replace the DRAM DIMM that comes preinstalled in your computer
with one of a higher capacity. To do this, you’ll need to remove the existing
DIMM following the instructions provided in this section, then install a
higher capacity DIMM following the instructions in “Installing a DRAM
DIMM,” next in this appendix.

WARNING

Although instructions for installing DRAM DIMMs and a

High Performance Module (level 2 cache) are provided in this manual,
Apple Computer strongly recommends that you have an Apple-certified
technician install them. Consult the service and support information that
came with your computer for instructions on how to contact an Apple-
authorized service provider or Apple for service. If you install additional
DIMMs yourself, you risk damaging your equipment, and this damage is
not covered by the limited warranty on your computer. See an Apple-
authorized dealer or service provider for additional information about
this or any other warranty question.
