Flash Cache Module

The Flash Cache Module (FCM) is an internal flash drive that helps improve
the performance of your computer. If you ordered an FCM with your
computer, the card is already installed.

the computer.

NOTE:

If you leave the area, ground yourself again when you return to the

computer.

4 Release the FCM by pushing the metal securing brackets away from the

card until the card pops up slightly.
