UPGRADING THE COMPUTER
Upgrading System Memory
You can expand memory by installing memory expansion boards.
Installation is performed easily by lifting the computer keyboard
and inserting the memory expansion board. To order a memory
expansion board, contact your Compaq authorized reseller. Refer
to the instruction card that comes with the option kit for
installation procedures.
IMPORTANT: If you upgrade memory, the computer increases the
Hibernation file size to accommodate the additional memory.
When the Hibernation files increases, it requires more hard disk
space.
Checking the Amount of Memory
When RAM increases, the hard drive space reserved for the
hibernation file also increases. Windows 98 manages this
increase. If the computer is running Windows 95 or
Windows NT 4.0 and you experience problems with Hibernation
after increasing RAM, verify that your hard drive has enough free
space for a large hibernation file.
To view the amount of space required by a hibernation file
In Windows 95 select StartÅSettingsÅControl
PanelÅPowerÅHibernation tab.
In Windows NT 4.0 select StartÅSettingsÅControl
PanelÅCompaq PowerÅHibernation tab.
To view the amount of free space on your hard drive, select
My ComputerÅright-click your hard driveÅProperties.
