Adding and Upgrading Memory Modules

ÅWARNING: The memory compartments are the only user-accessible internal compartments on the notebook. All other areas that require a tool to access should be opened only by an authorized service provider.

ÅWARNING: Failure to unplug the power cord and remove all battery packs before installing a memory expansion module can damage the equipment and expose you to the risk of electrical shock.

ÄCAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Before beginning any procedure, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object. For more information, refer on the Documentation Library CD to the Regulatory and Safety Notices guide.
