Upgrading Video DRAM Memory
The mainboard comes with 1MB of video display DRAM
mounted on it. In addition, there are two expansion sockets that al­
low you to expand the video display memory to 2MB.
To expand the video display memory, you must install two 512KB
DRAM chips in the expansion sockets. To install the chips, observe
static discharge precautions and do as follows:
1. Open your system case and find the video display memory ex­
pansion sockets, located near the monitor port.
2. Identify the Pin 1 comer of the socket. The Pin 1 comer is the
upper left-hand comer from the point of view of the main-
board diagram on page 1-7 in Chapter 1.
3. Identify the Pin 1 comer of the DRAM chip. It should have a
small dot indentation on the top of the chip at that comer.
4. Align the chip to the socket so that the Pin 1 comers match and
press the chip into the socket.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the second socket and chip.
6. When you are done, reassemble your system and turn it on.
Information about the video display appears first. Check to see
that the memory total displayed is 2MB. If this is correct, the
chips are correctly installed and the system is using the new
display memory.
Please see Chapter 4 for information on the required specifica­
tions for the video display memory expansion DRAM chips.
