This chapter describes the steps to install a memory expansion
board to increase the amount of random access memory (RAM).
See the online Options Catalog for a list of the available memory
expansion boards.
The computer has two memory slots. One slot contains the
original system memory board. You can increase RAM by adding
a memory expansion board and also by replacing the original
memory board. For example, you can increase RAM up to 128
megabytes by installing two 64-megabyte boards.
To view the amount of existing RAM memory in the computer,
double-click the Compaq Diagnostics icon in Control Panel.
IMPORTANT:
When RAM memory is increased, the disk space
reserved for the Hibernation file is also increased. If you experience
problems with Hibernation after adding a memory board, verify that
your hard drive has enough free space for the Hibernation file.
Double-click the Power icon in Control Panel, then click the
Hibernation tab.
!
WARNING:
The memory compartment is the only user-accessible
internal compartment on the computer. All other areas that require a
tool to access should be opened only by a Compaq authorized
service provider.
