Appendix E
Installing Additional Memory
You can install additional memory—dynamic random-access memory
(DRAM)—in your computer. DRAM allows you to work with more programs
and larger documents. Additional memory comes in packages called Dual
Inline Memory Modules, or DIMMs. Altogether, you can install a maximum
(total) of 136 megabytes (MB) of memory in this Macintosh model. You can
also install an optional High Performance Module (level 2 memory cache) in
the cache slot in your computer for additional processing power.
For more information about memory, see the “Memory” topic of Macintosh
Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
WARNING Although instructions for installing DIMMs and a High
Performance Module are provided in this manual, Apple Computer
strongly recommends that you have an Apple-certified technician install
additional DRAM or High Performance Modules (for a fee). Consult the
service and support information that came with your computer for
instructions on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or
Apple for service. If you install additional DIMMs yourself, you risk
damaging your equipment, and this damage is not covered by the
limited warranty on your computer. See an Apple-authorized dealer or
service provider for additional information about this or any other
warranty question.
