Memory Modules

Your computer comes with 4MB of memory soldered onto the

memory card in your computer. By installing SIMMs (single

inline memory modules) on this card, you can increase the

amount of memory in your computer up to 16MB.

Caution
It is best to have your dealer install memory modules for

you because they can be damaged easily if installed

incorrectly. If you prefer, you can install your own SIMMs

by carefully following the instructions in this section.

Before you install SIMMs, check the following guidelines to

ensure that they will work properly:

Use SIMMs that operate at 80ns (nanosecond) or faster

access speed. Be sure all the SIMMs you install have the

same access speed.

Use the correct SIMM configuration to add the amount of

memory you want. See the table on the next page.

Once you have the SIMMs you need, you or your dealer can

install them in your computer. If you want to install them

yourself, follow the instructions below.
