Accessing system board components and drives To access some components on the system board such as memory, the battery, and the Clear CMOS/BIOS recovery jumper, you might need to slide the diskette and CD drive tray outward to the front of the computer. You can also use this procedure to access the drives when updating to different or higher capacity drives.
The system board (sometimes called the planar or motherboard) is the main circuit board in your computer. It provides basic computer functions and supports a variety of devices that are IBM-installed or that you can install later. The following illustration shows the locations of parts on the system board.
Installing memory Your computer has two connectors for installing dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that provide up to a maximum of 1 GB of system memory. When installing memory, the following rules apply: v Use 2.5 V, 184-pin, double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR SDRAM), non-ECC DIMMs.
Installing PCI adapters This section provides information and instructions for installing and removing PCI adapters. Your computer has a riser card with two PCI expansion slots. To install a PCI adapter: 1. Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 9. 2.
5. Install the adapter into the appropriate slot on the PCI riser. 6. Replace the adapter-slot-cover latch. 7. Install the PCI riser and adapters. 8. Replace the cover. See “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables” on page 19. What to do next: v To work with another option, go to the appropriate section.
6. Reinstall the disk drive tray. Go to “Connecting a diskette drive” or “Connecting an IDE CD drive”. Replacing the hard disk drive To replace the hard disk drive, follow these steps. 1. Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 9. 2.
