Choose the size of the memory module and configuration as shown
in the following table. Memory modules can vary in size and speed
between sockets. The minimum memory size is 8 MB. The maximum
memory size is 512 MB. The BIOS automatically detects the type, size
and speed of the memory modules.
2 If necessary, remove the memory module you wish to replace (see
“Removing a Slot Cover” on page 41).

Remove the new memory module(s) from its anti-static package.
Hold the memory module only by its edges to prevent static-
electricity damage.

page 48).
