Installing Memory

Your Mac mini has two memory slots in which you can install a pair of 1 GB, 2 GB, or

4 GB memory modules, for a maximum of 8 GB of memory. For best performance, don’t mix modules of different sizes; always install two identical memory modules.

You can purchase Apple memory from an Apple Authorized Reseller, the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store, or your local Apple Retail Store.

Step 1:  Turn off your Mac mini.

Choose Apple () > Shut Down.
