System Expansion666-1. Opening the computer caseAlways consult with your service representatives before opening the computercase.Follow the guidelines below when opening the case.Opening and closing the computer caseãQuit all running programs.ãTurn off the computer and monitor, and unplug and remove the power cords.ãKeep magnetic objects such as screw driver away from the parts inside the com-puter.ãOpen the computer case in a safe, clean area.ãThe static electricity can damage the parts inside the computer. Touch a bare,unpainted metal part of the computer for 2~3 seconds to remove the static elec-tricity before opening the computer case.ãAlways wear gloves to avoid injury when disassembling the computer.Make sure that there is no metallic object left inside the computer before closing the case.There is the risk of electric shock or fire.6. System ExpansionRemove 3 screws from the cover andthen push the cover as the direction ofthe arrow.Push the cover in the direction ofarrow as it aligns the groove of com-puter cover with body shown on thepicture and fasten 3 screws.

System Expansion706-4 Replacing the CPUThe shape and replacement method of the CPU fan may be different dependingon the model.ⓞClamps on both sides of the CPU fasten the fan tightly to the CPU socket. raise the handle℘, release the clamps, and then spread them outwardℙ.ⓟAfter releasing the clamps, lift and remove the CPU fan from the socket.ⓠRaise the handle on the CPU socket to unlock the CPU.Align the groove to the right position,pins can easily be broken. ℙ℘
System Expansion 71ⓢAlign the identifying marks at the corners of the new CPU and socket, and careful-ly install the CPU in the socket. Lower the handle to lock the CPU in place.ⓣLower the handle as shown picture℘and lock the clamps as shown picture ℙ.ⓡLift the CPU straight up. Be careful not to damage the pins at the bottom of the CPU.In a specific system, clamps are not fully open.Raise the CPU fan from the fully opened space.To assemble it, install from the opposite side.ℙ℘

Lower the handle to lock the CPU in place.ⓣPush the both side of clamps after align the grooves to the clamps.Please gentely push theclamps not to make it broken.
System Expansion746-5. Increasing the memoryIf you run out of memory while using the computer, you may want to increase theamount of memory in your computer.About memoryYour computer uses DDR(Double Data Rate) SDRAM DIMM(Dual In-Line MemoryModule) with 184 pins. Your computer supports Unbuffered DDR SDRAM DIMM of256MB up to 512MB in size in each socket, and 2GB total.Before increasing the memoryãAlways wear gloves to avoid injury when disassembling the computerãStatic electricity can damage memory modules be sure to minimize the staticelectricity when replacing memory.ãMake sure to replace the memory of the same type as the installed memory.ãDIMM is different from SIMM in that it is configured for 64 bit operation; there-fore, your computer can operate with only one DIMM installed.ãWindows 95, 98SE, ME supports memory up to 512MB total. Increasing the memorybeyond 512MB in these systems may cause errors while using the computer.NoteãUse a 2.5V DDR SDRAM DIMM.(The shape of the memory may be different dependingon the model) DDR SDRAM enhances the rate of data transmission of the SDRAM andlooks different from SDRAM.NoteDDR
