Adding More Video Memory - Mitsubishi Electric Apricot LS series Owner's Handbook Manual

Adding more video memory

M o t h e r b o a r d f e a t u r e s a n d u p g r a d e s
Video memory is memory reserved for use by the on-board video
controller. More video memory can provide more colours or higher
resolutions to an extent determined by the capabilities of your
monitor.
Check the amount of video memory fitted in your computer. You
must fit a module of equal value. For example, if your computer has
4Mb of video memory, you must fit a 4Mb SoDIMM (Small
outline Dual Inline Memory Module). Contact your Mitsubishi
Electric PC supplier for suitable modules.
1. Turn off the computer and unplug all power cords.
2. Take suitable anti-static precautions and remove the system
unit cover. For more information see the "Anti-static
precautions" section in the Safety & Regulatory Notices at the
start of this manual.
3. Remove any expansion cards that impede access to the video
memory upgrade socket (see the motherboard diagram at the
start of this chapter).
4. Unpack the upgrade kit. Hold the SoDIMM chip by its edges
and be careful not to touch the metal pins.
5. Insert the SoDIMM into the socket as shown in the
illustration.
6. Replace any expansion cards you removed earlier and refit the
system unit cover.
You can now reconfigure your operating system to use the
expanded capabilities of the video controller.
