Expanding the Memory

The AF8 uses 168 pin memory modules called ″DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module)″. It supports a maximum 512MB.

1. Inserting the memory module

Pull the two lock-in tabs outwards

at the both ends of the memory s o c k e t .

2. R e m oving the memory module

Insert the memory module into the socket perpendicularly in a rightwards direction.

Pull the lock-in tabs outward to remove the memory module

FLATOP supports PC-100 and special PC-133 standard memory. * FLATOP cannot use PC-66 memory. A combination of Celeron CPU and PC-66

memory could cause abnormal operation in the memory. We don ′t recommend this combination.

■C a u t i o n s

1. As memory is vulnerable to static electricity, be careful in inserting and removing the memory modules.

2. Check the memory module type before you install the new memory m o d u l e .

Why does the computer have white or colored spots on its LCD screen?

F L ATO P′s LCD contains about 1 million pixels and bad pixels could occur. LCDs with higher quality pixels are extremely expensive and beyond the a ffordability of average users. We are doing our best to minimize bad pixels. Bad pixels below a certain level don′t affect the product.

How can I find out how to install other operating systems and drivers for those systems?

Please refer to the FLATOP installation guide or visit our website at w w w.flatop.co.kr for information on new operating systems and device d r i v e r s

Why can′t FLATOP recognize the AMR card?

After installing the AMR card, set the AC97 Audio or AC97 Modem to E n a b l e din Integrated Peripheralsin the system BIOS.

Why doesn′t my FLATOP shutdown automatically under Windows 2000.

1. Click Start and point to S e t t i n gsand then Control Panel. Run the Power Option and select A P M and then Advanced Power M a n a g e m e n t. Activate the Enable APM Support .

2. Enable APM, ACPI related items in BIOS′s Power Management and reinstall Windows 2000.
