Installing Memory

Your Mac mini has two memory slots in which you can install a pair of 1 GB, 2 GB, or

4 GB memory modules, for a maximum of 8 GB of memory. For best performance, don’t mix modules of different sizes; always install two identical memory modules.

Memory modules for your Mac mini must meet the following specifications: ÂÂ Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM) format

ÂÂ 1333 MHz, PC3-10600E, DDR3 compliant (also called DDR3 1333) ÂÂ Unbuffered and unregistered

You can purchase Apple memory from an Apple Authorized Reseller, the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store, or your local Apple Retail Store.

WARNING: Always shut down your Mac mini and remove the power cord before installing memory. Do not install memory while your Mac mini is plugged in.

Step 1: Turn off your Mac mini.

Choose Apple () > Shut Down.

Step 2: Disconnect all cables.

Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from your Mac mini.
