Upgrading and Maintaining Your Slimtop™ LCD Computer

Upgrading and

Maintaining Your

Slimtop™ LCD

Computer

In the future, you may want to upgrade your computer to increase its

functionality. This section describes how to open your computer, insert add-on

boards, and add memory. For more information on upgrading your Sony

computer, see the System Reference Manual. You can download the System

Reference Manual from the Sony Web site at: http://www.sony.com/pcsupport

Overview

The procedures in this section assume you are familiar with the general

terminology associated with personal computers and with regulatory compliance

required for using and modifying electronic equipment. Observe proper safety

precautions when you modify your computer. Read “Notes on Use” in the VAIO

Slimtop™ LCD Computer User Guide before upgrading your Sony computer.

Always switch the power off and unplug the power cord from the outlet before

you open the system or connect your computer to peripheral equipment.

Otherwise, damage may occur to the integrated circuits in your computer.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-on cards, and

other components. Follow the procedures described here only at an ESD

workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area

and do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (for

example, cellophane wrappers). Ground yourself by maintaining continuous

contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while performing the

procedure.

Removing the Cover

To remove the cover

1Remove the screw from the top of the rear panel.

2Holding the top of system unit firmly, pull the T-lever on back of unit in the

direction shown in the lower picture.

If you remove the cover immediately after you shut down your computer, the

components may be too hot to touch. Wait until the internal parts of the

system unit cool down before you attempt to remove the cover.

Step 1

Step 2

Inserting an Add-on Board

There are two PCI expansion slots in this computer. One slot contains the

preinstalled modem card. The second slot is open for installation of an add-on

board that supports Windows Me and the PCI revision 2.1 specification.

To insert an add-on board

1Shut down your computer and turn off all peripheral devices, such as your

printer.

2Unplug your computer and any peripheral devices.

3Remove the cover as described in “Removing the Cover”.

4Locate the available expansion slot. Remove the screw, and then remove the

slot cover.

✍Your VAIO Slimtop™ LCD Computer cannot accommodate PCI add-on boards over 6.6

inches in length.

Make sure you observe the proper safety precautions when you add boards to

your Sony computer. See “Notes on Use” in the VAIO Slimtop™ LCD

Computer User Guide.

add-on board).

7Replace the cover and reinsert the screw at the top of the rear panel.

Adding Memory

The computer has two memory slots. For memory upgrades, use only 3.3V

64-bit, PC-133 MHz SDRAM DIMM modules.

To install memory

1Shut down your computer and turn off all peripheral devices, such as your

printer.

2Unplug your computer and any peripheral devices.

3Remove the cover as described in “Removing the Cover”.

4If necessary, remove any cables, add-on cards, or other components to access

the DIMM slots.

5Handle the DIMM only by the edges, and remove it from its anti-static

package.

6Locate the notches on the bottom edge of the DIMM.

7Align the DIMM over the slot.

Always observe the proper safety precautions when you add DIMMs to your

Sony computer. See “Notes on Use”in the VAIO Slimtop™LCD Computer

User Guide.

8Firmly insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the slot.

9Press evenly against the DIMM’s upper corners. The end latches snap into

place automatically.

10 Reinstall any add-on cards or components you removed.

11 Replace the cover and reinsert the screw at the top of the rear panel.

Installing Memory

To avoid damaging the DIMM slot, move the DIMM slot latches slightly

outward to relieve pressure. The module should then click easily into place.

such as the date and time stored in CMOS RAM, may become inaccurate. For

detailed information on replacing the lithium battery, see the System Reference
