System Expansion 696-2. Main Board The model name of the computer depends on the main board type. When extend-ing the computer, check the model name on the label attached on the rear panelof the computer and the following. Before extending the computer, check the mainboard first.Expansion slot (PCI-E x1)Expansion slot (PCI) Expansion slot (PCI-E x16)CPU socket (with Pentium4 LGA 775)Memory socket (DIMM)Floppy disk connector Hard disk/CD-ROM connectorSerial ATA-type hard disk connectorThe main board in your computer may look different from the picture.Note
System Expansion706-3. Internal ConnectorsConnectors are configured in a certain way at the factory, and connectors show theconnection status between the main board of the computer and peripherals.(Connector configuration depends on product models.)Before separating the connector, check the connection state of the connectors and leave arecord on the state. Link the floppy disk driver connector and the hard disk/CD-ROM connector in the correctdirection. The Pin Number and the color of the connector cable must match. Otherwise, an error mayoccur in the computer.Risk of explosin if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteriesaccording to the instructions.There is a risk of explosion if the backup(standby) RTC battery is replaced by an incorrecttype. Dispose of used backup(stadby) RTC battery according to your local ordinances orregulation.

System Expansion726-4 Replacing the CPUTo upgrade the CPU for better performance of the computer, you need to replace theCPU first. Check the location and the type of the CPU in the main board, and do thefollowing. (Shape of the CPU FAN and CPU replacement methods may differ bymodel.)Align the groove to the right position,pins can easily be broken.Unfasten four screws fixing the CPU fan as shown in the figure.Turn the CPU socket handle as shown in the figure of Step , and open the coveras shown in the figure of Step .Remove the CPU fan as shown in the figure.
System Expansion 73Always wear gloves to avoid injuries.Lift the CPU up carefully to remove it from the main board.Insert the new CPU with caution in the CPU socket in the correct direction andclose the cover and then put down the handle of the CPU socket Insert the CPU FAN as shown in the figure, and fix it with four screws.
74 System Expansion6-5. Expanding the Computer Memory You may expand the memory capacity, if needs be.About MemoryThis system uses a 240-pin memory module called Double Data Rate-2 (DDR-2),not the old 184-pin memory module called Double Data Rate (DDR). The mainboard can support maximum 2GB in memory.Before Expanding the MemoryWhen disassembling the computer, wear gloves to protect internal parts of thecomputer and slot cards from damage.As the memory is sensitive to static electricity, be careful with the static electrici-ty when removing or installing a memory.Check the specifications of the current memory and the new memory beforeexpanding the memory.Unlike SIMM, DIMM is of 64 bits. Therefore, single DIMM can function, and youcan add DIMM by one.Windows 95, 98SE, and ME support maximum 512MB. Installing a memory with highercapacity than 512MB may cause malfunctioning of the system.NoteNoteWhen expanding the memory, add a memory with the same specification (DDR-2SDRAM for 1.8V). (The shape of the memory may differ depending on the productmodel.)The DDR-2 memory provides greatly improved transmission rate than existing memo-ries, and is differently shaped.
75System ExpansionRefer to the following when expanding memory.This computer supports PC3200/4300, DDR-2 specification. When expanding the memory, use only unbuffered DDR SDRAM DMMWhen inserting two same memories in same-colored DIMM slots, the computer will oper-ate in Dual Channel mode.FSB Frequency400/533 MHzUsable MemoryPC3200/4300-DDR-2 SDRAM 400/533MHzPreparing a Memory Before purchasing memory, study the specifications and features of the currentmemory.Specification : PC3200/4300 (240-pin DDR-2 SDRAM)Rate : 400MHz (200MHz 2), 533MHz (266MHz 2)Type : 256MB, 512MBComposing the MemoryTotal memory capacityDIMM 1 DIMM 2 DIMM 3 DIMM 4DUAL/SINGLESINGLEDUALDUALSINGLEDUALDUALDUALDUAL512MB256MB 256MB256MB 256MB256MB1024MB256MB 256MB 256MB 256MB512MB 512MB512MB 512MB2048MB 512MB 512MB 512MB 512MB512 (One out of four slots)256 (One out of four slots)The computer operates faster in Dual Channel mode.Use the same memory to operate the computer in Dual Channel mode.It is recommended to use Dual Channel mode. Note
76 System ExpansionMain board configuration, memory socket and memory type may differ by model.Loosen the screws on the rear panelof the computer, and remove thecover.Release the latches from both flanks of the memory. The memory will beremoved automatically.Replacing the Memory Before opening the computer cover,turn off the power and all peripheralsconnected to the computer. Disconnectall power cables.NoteLay the latches outwards from thememory socket.Insert the memory (DIMM) vertically inthe socket in line with the grooves asshown in the figure.Installing MemoryWhen using a DDR-2 memory, the mem-ory must be installed in each channel forDual Channel mode.1-3 and 2-4 of dual Channels No. 1 ~ 4The memory will be automatically installedeven if not latched. However, it is recom-mended to fasten the latches until thememory is completely fixed.NoteThe memory will be automaticallyinstalled even if not latched. However, itis recommended to fasten the latchesuntil the memory is completely fixedlatch
77System ExpansionChecking the Expanded MemoryTurn on the power after installing the memory. Then, the computer will detect thememory so that you don't need to change the system setup. The capacity of theinstalled memory is checked as follows.Connect the power cord and other cables, and turn on the computer and the moni-tor. Then, the initial screen to check the status of the computer will appear.When the following screen appears, press [Esc] key. Then, POST screen willappear.On the next screen, press [Pause] to freeze the screen temporarily and to checkthe Memory Testing : XXXXXX OK part.After checking the memory, press the [Esc] key. Windows screen will proceed.In the case that the logo screen is processed too fast to stop, press [Delete] key on the LGlogo screen. Then, select Advanced BIOS Features Full Screen Logo ShowSelectable, and change status from Enabled to Disabled.Note
78 System Expansion6-6. Adding a Hard DiskThis computer supports up to four serial ATA controllers, and you can add one harddisk drive.The following is when you purchase a hard disk and installs it, and describes themost common case when you add a hard disk to a computer that is already equippedwith one hard disk.When disassembling the computer, wear gloves to protect internal parts of the computerand slot cards from damage.Use screws compatible with specification when installing the hard disk in the main body.Otherwise, critical damage may be done to electronic parts. For stable use of the harddisk, fix the hard disk in the main body of the computer to prevent vibration.Before Adding a Hard Disk Adding a Hard DiskWrite down the capacity, the cylinder count, the numbers of headsand sectors of the hard disk marked on the upper part of the harddisk. They are necessary for system setup (depending on theproduct model.).NoteNotePrepare the hard disk to install.The hard disk must be serial ATA type. Signalconnector Powerconnector
