Adding Memory
You can increase eomputer memory by installing additional memory
modules on the system board. Your computer supports dual-direct RDRAM
RIMMs in 64-, 128-, and 256-MB capacities. The system board illustration
(see page 45) shows the location of the four RIMM sockets on the system
board.
If you upgrade the memory, the RIMMs must be upgraded in matched pairs
of identical MB capacity in both sockets 1 and 2 or sockets 5 and 4.
O NOTICE : Be sure to install RIMMs in the first two sockets nearest the
processor before installing RIMMs in the outer two sockets.

2 Press out the securing clip at each end of the memory connector.
3 Align the notches on the bottom of the module with the crossbars in
the connector.
O NOTICE: To avoid breaking the memory module, do not press near the middle
of the module.
