1 NEC VERSA LX AND LXI 256-MB MEMORY UPGRADE KIT Congratulations on purchasing an NEC Versa LX or LXi computer. Whether you purchased a system with one or two 256-megabyte (MB) memory modules, or you purchased an additional 256-MB memory module (Kit No. OP ) to go with your system, use these instructions if you need to remove or install a memory module. Your NEC Versa LX or LXi computer includes a minimum of 32 or 64 MB of random access memory (RAM) and it supports up to 512 MB of RAM. The total RAM depends on which two of the listed small outline dual inline memory modules (SO-DIMM) are used: 32-MB memory module 64-MB memory module 128-MB memory module 256-MB memory module Page 1

2 Note: Some NEC Versa LX systems with one or two 256-MB memory modules report memory incorrectly in LANDesk Client Manager. Check system memory through the BIOS Setup Utility or by accessing the System Properties window. Note: To ensure that the hibernation or Save-to-File file is properly created and utilized when needed, be sure that you have the appropriate BIOS levels installed on your system. For the NEC Versa LX, use BIOS 45 or higher. For the NEC Versa LX with AGP, use BIOS 25 or higher. The BIOS upgrades are available by calling Customer Support at or by downloading from the NECC website, Page 2
