Locate the video memory sockets on the main system board,
shown on page 3-5.
If there is an option card in your way, remove it. See page
3-17 for instructions.
Caution
To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the
memory chips, ground yourself by touching the metal
surface on the inside of the computer's back panel. Then
remain as stationary as possible while you install them.
Remove the memory chips from their package and inspect
each one. The pins should point inward at slightly less than
a 90° angle. If any of the pins are not in this position, use
your fingers or small tweezers to gently align them with the
other pins. Be careful; the pins are fragile and can break off
easily.
Position one of the memory chips over the socket as shown
below, aligning the pins on the chip with the holes in the
socket. Make sure the small notch on the end of the chip
aligns with the corresponding notch in the socket.
