Locate the memory sockets. You'll see two memory modules installed in
white sockets parallel to the power supply. You can move the ribbon
cables out of the way, but do not disconnect them.

free of the socket. Lift it out and save it for possible donation to the
Smithsonian. Now, remove the other memory module in the same way.

wrist strap, touch the power supply case to discharge any static electric-
ity from your body before opening the package containing the new
memory module.
Remove the memory module from the package and note the notches on
the bottom (connector) edge. Those notches are keyed to the socket so
that you can't insert it the wrong way. The off-center notch goes toward
the rear of the CPU.
There are two DIMM sockets adjacent to the group of four sockets from
which you removed the old memory. The new memory module is in-
stalled in the DIMM socket nearest to the group of sockets from which
you removed the old memory modules.
Flip the white latches at the ends of the DIMM socket outward so that
they are out of the way. Ensure that the notches in the memory module
line up with the keys in the socket. Using both hands, gently press the
module all the way into the socket. This may take quite a bit of pressure.
When the module is fully seated, the latching clips will snap into place. If
the notches in the memory module don't line up with the keys in the
socket, you have probably purchased the wrong type of memory.

Locate the memory sockets on the motherboard. This is the group of
three sockets, perpendicular to the power supply, located near the front
edge of the motherboard. One socket contains a 16 MB memory module,
the other two will be empty.

settings to change, so if the module is installed properly and it's healthy,
the console should start up normally. If you have a video monitor con-
nected, it should show 32 MB just after turning on the D8B CPU.
If the console doesn't boot, chances are the new memory module isn't
seated in the socket properly. Power it off, remove the module, and try
again.
BUTTON IT UP
When everything checks out, power off the console and replace the
cover. Note that there are two lengths of screws. The long ones go on the
sides, the short ones go into the top and rear lip.
That's it.
