Apple 5300 Series manual Remove the new RAM card from its protective package

13Remove the new RAM card from its protective package.

Hold the card by its edges. Don’t touch the chips or metal parts of the card.

IMPORTANT Use a RAM card with TSOP low-profile RAM chips only. Installing a card with high-profile chips may damage your computer.

Save the protective package that the RAM card came in in case you want to remove the card later.

14Lower the card into the computer and align its connector with the socket on the main circuit board.

It’s easier to align the card if you hold it at an angle, with the right side raised. Make sure the ribbon cables for the keyboard go on top of the installed card.
