Attention: Before you start installing a module, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action reduces any
static electricity from your body. The static electricity could damage the DIMM.

computer beeps, and the system does not start. You can purchase the appropriate memory option from your IBM
reseller, IBM marketing representative, or from our website.

Increasing memory capacity is an effective way to make programs run faster. You can increase the amount of memory in
your computer by installing a PC133 dual inline memory module (DIMM), available as an option, in the memory slot on
the bottom of the computer. DIMMs with different capacities are available.
