installing a memory module 1 See "removing a memory module" on page 115. 2 Holding the new memory module by its edges only, remove it from the antistatic packaging. (Avoid touching the memory chips or the gold contacts on the module.) The memory module has one or two small notches on the lower edge, which fit into raised bumps in the memory socket. 3 Hold the memory module in alignment with the socket, aligning the notches with the bumps. 4 Push straight down on top of the memory module until it is fully seated in the socket. The retaining clips on the ends of the socket automatically lock it into position when the memory module is fully seated. 5 Replace any cabling that was removed. 6 Replace the side panel. See page 99. add-in cards At some point, you may want to add a PCI or an AGP card to the PC to accommodate a new component, such as a scanner, or to upgrade an existing card. WARNING: Do not overload the system by installing add-in cards that draw excessive current. The system is designed to provide 2 amps (average) of +5 V power for each board/card in the PC. The total +5 V current draw in a fully loaded system (one with all add-in card slots filled) must not exceed the total number of slots multiplied by 2 amps. 116 user's guide

2
Holding the new memory module by its edges only, remove it from the
antistatic packaging. (Avoid touching the memory chips or the gold contacts
on the module.) The memory module has one or two small notches on the
lower edge, which fit into raised bumps in the memory socket.
3
Hold the memory module in alignment with the socket, aligning the notches
with the bumps.
4
Push straight down on top of the memory module until it is fully seated in the
socket. The retaining clips on the ends of the socket automatically lock it into
position when the memory module is fully seated.

add-in cards
At some point, you may want to add a PCI or an AGP card to the PC to
accommodate a new component, such as a scanner, or to upgrade an
existing card.
WARNING: Do not overload the system by installing add-in cards
that draw excessive current. The system is designed to provide
2 amps (average) of +5 V power for each board/card in the PC.
The total +5 V current draw in a fully loaded system (one with all
add-in card slots filled) must not exceed the total number of slots
multiplied by 2 amps.
