General information

The random-access memory (RAM) in your computer can be
expanded. Installing additional RAM adds more memory chips to
your computer and expands its capabilities.
Memory for your computer is provided in packages called Dual
Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Adding dynamic RAM (DRAM)
DIMMs increases your computer's memory. Installing a larger
cache DIMM can also increase your computer's performance. The
memory used to display images on the screen (called video RAM,
or VRAM) can also be expanded by installing larger DIMMs.
The DIMMs must be the correct type for your computer, and can be
installed one at a time. DIMMs do not have to be installed in pairs.
Motorola recommends that you have a Motorola-
!
approved technician install additional DRAM, VRAM
or cache DIMMs. Consult the service and support
Warning
information that came with your computer for
instructions on how to contact a Motorola-approved
service provider or Motorola for service. If you install
additional DIMMs yourself, you risk damaging your
equipment and this damage would not be covered by
the limited warranty on your computer. See a Motorola-
authorized dealer or service provider for additional
information about this or any other warranty question.
It is very important that the DIMMs be correctly installed in your
computer, because incorrect installation can result in errors,
unpredictable results, and damage to your equipment and data.
Refer to the Technical Information booklet for RAM configuration
and installation information.
