Installing DDR-SDRAM DIMMs

ÄCAUTION: Your memory module sockets have gold metal contacts. When upgrading your memory, it is important to use memory modules with gold metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.

ÄCAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional cards. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. See Appendix E, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.

ÄCAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.
