Removing an Option Card

You may need to remove an option card installed in your

computer to access components on the main system board-to

change a jumper setting, for example. You may also want to

remove a card if you no longer need it. Follow these steps:

1. Remove the retaining screw securing the option card to the

computer. Then pull the card straight out of the slot.

2. Set the card aside with the component side facing up.

Adding Video Memory

Your computer comes with 256KB of video memory. You can

increase your video memory to either 512KB or 1024KB by

installing four or six video DRAM, 20-pin, 70ns or 80ns, 44256

DIP (Dual Inline Package) chips. This is useful for running

graphics-intensive applications or for supporting resolutions

up to 1024 x 768 on your monitor. See Appendix A for a table

identifying supported colors and resolutions for each amount

of video memory.

For the memory to work properly, you must install chips in the

following configuration (each bank contains two video memory

chips).
