Removing an Option Card

You may need to remove an option card to access components
on the main system board or if you no longer need it. Refer to

the illustrations under “Installing an Option Card” for your

computer type as you follow these steps:

1.

If you are removing a card from the tower computer or from

the three-slot side on the slimline computer, first remove
the retaining screw securing the option card to the

computer. Then pull the card straight out of the slot.

2.

If you are removing a card from the two-slot side on the

slimline computer, first remove the slot cover bracket. Then

pull the card straight out of the slot.

3.

If you are not installing another option card, replace the
option slot cover, the slot cover bracket (if necessary), and

retaining screw.

4.

Replace the computer’s cover as described under “Replacing

the Cover.” Then see “Post-installation Procedures” for

instructions on configuring your computer without your
option card.

Adding Video Memory

Your computer comes with 1MB of video memory. You can
increase your video memory to 2MB by installing two 512KB,
40-pin SOJ flat pack video DRAM chips. (You cannot increase

your video memory by installing just one chip.) Additional

video memory is useful for running graphics-intensive

applications or for supporting high resolutions with many

colors.
