Re: Memory installation in a 170?

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Piece o cake.

1) Git 'yer 5.5mm socket wrench and the memory.
2) Bring 'er down.
2b) (Opshunal) Put 'er up on blocks so ya can see watcher doin.
3) Romove 3 er 4 er 5 screws from the back 'o the left side. (Depends on 
how many the last guy put back in there)
4) Sliiide the cover back to open 'er up.
5) Attach yerself to the frame with a stout piece 'o ground wire or a 
ground strap if ya got one. (Safetee first!)
6) If she's an oldie but a goodie there will be a pair 'o white plastic 
tabs right square in the middle to slip the memory tray out. As I recall 
that thang hangs in there downside up with the memory on the tha bottom.
6b) If she's a newer model the memory will be up top near the back.
7) In any case fill the slots in pairs of like sticks. starting next to 
the currently installed ones.
8) Buttin 'er back up.
9) Run the smoke test.
10) WRKHDWRSC *PRC an see whacha got!
11) Sit back and admire yer good werk!
