components to your PC. Component configurations
vary by model.
Expansion cards you can replace or add to your
PC include:
■ Modem
■ Network Interface Card (NIC)
■ Graphics Card
■ Sound Card
■ FireWire
® Auxiliary Card
A Phillips screwdriver is needed to remove,
replace, or add an expansion card.
If a blank screen is displayed after replacing
or adding a memory module, the memory is
installed incorrectly or it is the wrong type of
memory. Remove and reinstall the memory
module.
