Apple Macintosh Performa 6100 Series - Manual (Page 44)

Expanding memory
The random-access memory (RAM) in your computer can be expanded.
Installing additional RAM adds more memory chips 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 Macintosh.
Memory for your computer is provided in packages called Single Inline
Memory Modules (SIMMs). The SIMMs must be the correct type for your
computer and should be installed in pairs of the same size into paired slots.
It is very important that the DRAM SIMMs be correctly installed in your
Macintosh. Incorrect installation can result in errors, unpredictable results,
and damage to your equipment and data.
WARNING Do not remove any factory-installed cards from inside your
computer. Removing a factory-installed card at an angle can damage
your equipment. Any NuBus
™ expansion cards installed in your
computer will not operate properly if the factory-installed card is
removed. If a factory-installed card needs to be removed, see an
Apple-authorized service provider.
WARNING To avoid damage to your computer, Apple recommends that
only an Apple-certified technician install additional RAM. 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 RAM 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 information about this or any other warranty
question.
