Caution:

Electro Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Before touching the memory module, ensure that you are discharged of static elec- tricity by touching a grounded metal object.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1.Turn the computer off and disconnect the AC power supply and any other cables from the unit.

Note: If the unit appears to be powered down, ensure that it is not in Suspend mode.

2.Turn the computer upside-down. Remove the battery from the system. If you are not familiar with this procedure, please refer to your comput- er’s “ Owner’s Manual .”

3.Return the system right side up and open the display screen so that it is parallel with the surface you are working on. Locate the two keyboard retaining caps at the right and left side base of the display screen. Remove both caps by sliding them away from the display screen.

7.Locate the single memory expansion slot in the open compartment. Notice the location of the off-center key on the slot. There will also be a

standard memory module occupying the expansion slot. In order to expand the memory on your com- puter, the standard mem- ory module will need to be removed.

8.To remove a memory module, locate the retaining clips on both sides of the memory module. Gently pull both clips away from the module, then lift the module out of its expansion slot.

9.To install a memory module, insert the module into an expansion slot at an angle and then push it down until it clicks into place. To be certain that the module is installed correctly, ensure that the off-center notch on the module is aligned with the off-center key of the expansion slot. The module can only be installed one way due to the position of the notch.
