replacing or adding a memory module
Upgrade the memory in your PC with memory of the same type and speed as the memory originally installed in your PC.
CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage
the module.
1Open both latches of the memory module socket (1).
opening the latches on the memory module socket
•If you are replacing a memory module, put the new memory module in the same memory slot from which the old memory was removed.
•If you are adding a memory module, install the new module into the socket nearest the preinstalled module, and install additional modules in the next available sockets.
2The memory module can be installed in only one way. Match the notch on the module (1) with the tab on the memory socket. Push the module carefully and firmly into the slot, ensuring that the latches (2) on both ends snap into place.
