Video Memory Removal (Low-Profile Chassis): Dell™ OptiPlex™ GX1p
You can upgrade video memory from 4 MB to 8 MB by installing a video-memory upgrade module in the video-memory upgrade socket on the system board. Adding
video memory increases the system's video performance and provides additional modes for high-resolution/expanded color applications.
To install the video memory upgrade, follow these steps:
1. Remove the expansion-card cage.
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to the video-memory upgrade socket and/or video-memory upgrade module, the module is keyed and
must be correctly positioned before inserting it into the socket.
2. Orient the video-memory upgrade module as shown in the illustration. Then carefully align the module's edge connector pins with the socket, ensuring that the
slot in the module mates with the socket key.
3. Press the video-memory upgrade module firmly into the socket, and pivot the module downward until the module clicks into place.
NOTE: If you do not hear a sharp click when installing the video-memory upgrade module, remove the module and repeat steps 2 and 3.
4. Replace the expansion-card cage.
5. Replace the computer cover, and reconnect the AC power cable to the AC outlet. Press the power button on the computer to reboot the system.
NOTE: As the system boots, it automatically detects the presence of the new video-memory upgrade module and changes the system configuration
information in the System Setup program.
6. Enter the System Setup program, and confirm that 8 MB is shown for Video Memory. If the total memory is listed incorrectly, repeat steps 1 through 6 to reseat
the video-memory upgrade module and verify that the computer acknowledges the module.
7. Run the system diagnostics (Video Test Group) to test the new video-memory upgrade module.
