Chapter 3

Installing and Removing Options

You can enhance the performance of your computer by adding

optional equipment such as memory modules, option cards, or

a math coprocessor.

Memory modules-also called SIMMs (single inline memory

modules)-allow you to increase the amount of memory in

your computer.

An option card is a circuit board you install in your computer

to add a particular function, such as a modem or an additional

interface port.

The math coprocessor can be installed on the system board to

enhance numeric-intensive operations for software that

supports the coprocessor.

This chapter first describes how to remove your computer’s

cover to install options and how to replace the cover when you

are finished. It then describes the following:

Locating the internal components

Changing the jumper settings

Installing and removing memory modules (SIMMs)

Installing and removing option cards
