Chapter 3
Fitting Hardware Options
Several hardware options can be fitted in your computer. Fitting
additional options upgrades the performance of the computer and
can increase its capabilities. This chapter covers the following
topics:
• How to remove and replace the cover of your computer.
• How to fit and remove expansion cards.
• How to fit and remove DIMMs.
• How to fit and remove upgrade processors.
• How to fit and remove disk drives.
Selecting options
A full list of the options that can be purchased from RM is given in
the RM Systems price list. Before buying an upgrade from a
manufacturer other than RM, we advise you to contact RM to
ensure that the option you intend to buy is suitable for use with
your computer.
Fitting options
Some hardware options can be fitted by you; others must be fitted
by RM. If you buy an RM upgrade which can be fitted by you, the
upgrade is supplied with its own fitting instructions which you
should follow. However, if you buy an upgrade from another
manufacturer (such as additional SIMMs), it may have no
instructions and you may be directed to the computer
manufacturer's information (i.e. this chapter).
If you prefer to have the upgrade fitted for you, contact RM
Services on (01235) 826617.
