Key component upgrades

Your computer is designed to deliver solid performance. However, in time, you might find that your applications demand even more computing power. For this reason, you are able to upgrade key components.

Note: Contact your authorized dealer if you decide to perform a key component upgrade.

Memory upgrade

Memory is expandable to 2GB, employing 256/512 MB or 1 GB industry standard soDIMMs (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules). The computer supports DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM.

There are two memory slots on your computer, one of which is occu- pied by standard memory. You can upgrade memory by installing a memory module into the other available slot, or replacing the standard memory with a higher-capacity memory module.

Installing memory:

1Turn off the computer. Make sure that the AC adapter is disconnected, and then remove the battery pack.

2Turn the computer over to access the memory compartment on the bottom of the unit. Remove the screw from the memory compartment door, and then lift the door off.
