Upgrading your Notebook’s Memory

SDid you know... Memory is a volatile media also known as RAM (Random Access Memory). Your Notebook uses memory as a scratch pad for all of its internal processes. When your Notebook is turned off, the contents of its memory are lost.

To avoid losing information that is temporarily stored in your Notebook’s memory, always save your work often to non-volatile media, such as a floppy or your Notebook’s hard drive.

You can easily upgrade your Notebook’s memory to take full advantage of the latest applications and games. Your Notebook can be upgraded to 384 MB of memory using PC 133 memory modules, available from any Compaq retailer.

ÄCAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage many electronic components, including memory upgrade modules. Ensure that you are suitably grounded before upgrading your Notebook’s memory.

To upgrade your Notebook’s memory, follow these steps:

1.Ensure that you have the memory upgrade available.

2.Turn off your Notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.
