10. Replace the microprocessor securing clip.
Orient the clip as shown in Figure 6-13, and hook the
unfolded end of the clip over the tab on the right
edge of the socket. Then press down on the folded
end of the clip to snap the clip over the tab on the left
edge of the socket.
11. If necessary, change the microprocessor speed
jumper setting (see Figure 5-7 to locate system
board jumpers).
The microprocessor speed jumper should be set for
the installed microprocessor's rated internal speed.
For example, for a 166-megahertz (MHz) Intel Pen-
tium processor, a jumper plug should be installed on
the pins labeled "166." (See "Jumpers" in Chapter 5
for more information.)

12. Replace the computer cover, reconnect your com-
puter and peripherals to their power sources, and
turn them on.
As the system boots, it detects the presence of the
new microprocessor and automatically changes the
system configuration information in the System
Setup program.
13. Enter the System Setup program, and confirm
that the
MICROPROCESSOR
tifies the installed microprocessor.
See Chapter 2, "Using the System Setup Program."
14. Run the Dell diagnostics to verify that the new
microprocessor is operating correctly.
See your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for
information on running the diskette-based diagnos-
tics and troubleshooting any problems that may
occur.

pgrading Video Memory
You can upgrade video memory from 1 to 2 MB by
installing two video-memory upgrade chips. Upgrading
the video memory increases video performance and
allows you to use video modes for application programs
that require high resolutions and many colors.
To upgrade the video memory, perform the following
steps:
1. Remove the computer cover according to the
instructions in "Removing the Computer Cover"
in Chapter 5.
CAUTION: See "Protecting Against Electro-
static Discharge" in the safety instructions at
the front of this guide.
2. To access the video-memory upgrade sockets
(labeled "VMEM1" and "VMEM2") on the
system board, remove the expansion-card cage as
described in "Removing the Expansion-Card
Cage" in Chapter 5.
