How to Install an N64 Expansion Pak

The Expansion Pak for the Nintendo 64 doubles the memory for the system to 8 MB. This allows some games to run better and also improves the graphics the console can generate. The Expansion Pak replaces the Jumper Pak that was originally supplied with the console. The only equipment you need to complete the installation process is the Jumper Pak Ejector, a plastic tool that is supplied with the Expansion Pak.
