Apple Power Macintosh 9500 Series - Manual (Page 54)

Expanding memory
The dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) in your computer can be
expanded. Installing additional DRAM adds more memory to your computer
and expands its capabilities. The Technical Information booklet that came with
your computer describes how much additional memory can be installed in
your Power Macintosh.
Memory for your computer is provided in packages called DRAM Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMMs). The DIMMs must be the correct type for your
computer.
The memory used to display images on the screen (called video RAM, or
VRAM) can also be expanded.
It is very important that the DRAM DIMMs be correctly installed in your
Power Macintosh, because incorrect installation can result in errors,
unpredictable results, and damage to your equipment and data.
Installing internal drives
Your Macintosh can hold up to four internal storage devices. Possible
configurations could include a floppy disk drive, a CD-ROM player, and two
hard disk drives (several capacities are available) or a CD-ROM player, a
floppy disk drive, a removable hard drive, and a DAT drive. Depending on the
configuration you purchased, these storage devices may already be installed.
If you want to add an internal drive to your Macintosh, see your Apple-
authorized dealer. Refer to the Technical Information booklet that came with
your Macintosh for more information about internal drives.
WARNING To avoid damage to your computer, Apple recommends that
only an Apple-certified technician install additional DRAM. 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 attempt to install additional DRAM yourself,
any damage you may cause to your equipment will not be 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.
