Upgrading the Computer
The computer has a variety of components that are upgradable,
providing plenty of expandability for your system. The hard drive
is upgradable. Some models are equipped with CD-ROM drive
and internal modem. Other models can be upgraded to include a
CD-ROM or modem.
NOTE:
The i
nternal modem is not available in all countries.
Upgrading Memory
The computer memory is upgradable and can be expanded by as
much as 64 MB of memory capacity.
IMPORTANT:
If you upgrade the memory, the computer increases
the Hibernation file size to accommodate the additional memory.
When the Hibernation file size increases, it requires more hard
disk space.
!
WARNING:
Disconnect all power to the computer before installing
a memory expansion board. To do so, unplug the power cord and
remove the battery packs and/or diskette drive. Failure to do so can
damage the equipment and expose you to risk of electrical shock.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces,
allow the internal system components to cool before touching.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always ensure
that the modem line is disconnected from the telephone network
while installing your system or when opening the equipment’s
enclosure.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic
components. Before touching the memory expansion board, be sure
you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal
object.
