Caution

To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the memory chips, ground yourself by touching the metal surface on the inside of the computer’s back panel. Then remain as stationary as possible while you install them.

3.Remove the memory chips from their package and inspect

each

one. The pins should point inward at slightly less than

a 90o

angle.

If any of the pins are bent, straighten them gently with your fingers or with small tweezers to align them with the other pins. Be careful when you do this; the pins are fragile and can break off easily.

4.Position one of the video chips over the first empty socket as shown below, aligning the pins on the chip with the holes in the socket. Make sure the notch in the end of the chip is aligned with a similar notch in the socket.
