Installing a Video-Memory Module Note: Because the PC 300PL model does not have a connector for installing a video-memory module upgrade, the following instructions are for PC 300GL computers only. Your PC 300PL computer comes with 4 MB of video memory. Therefore, installing a video-memory module on the system board is not an option. The PC 300GL computer comes with 2MB of video memory. To see how much video memory your computer has, check the "System Summary" menu within the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see Using Your Personal Computer). The video-memory module is a small, outline DIMM (SODIMM). Before you begin Read "Electrical Safety" on page 4 and "Handling Static-Sensitive Devices" on page 5. Read the instructions that come with the optional device. Turn off the computer and all other connected devices. Disconnect all cables attached to the computer. Attention: The presence of 5 V standby power might result in damage to your hardware unless you disconnect the power cord from the wall before opening the computer cover. Remove the computer cover (see "Disconnecting Cables and Removing the Cover" on page 6). To locate the video memory connector inside your computer, see "Identifying Parts on the System Board" on page 13. 1 Touch the static-protective package containing the video-memory memory module to any unpainted metal surface in the computer, and then remove the module. 2 Seat the video-memory module at an angle in the connector. 20 Installing Options in Your Personal Computer
