To remove a RAM expansion module

 

 

You may want to remove a RAM module so you can install a larger one. You’ll need a

 

 

small Phillips screwdriver for these steps.

 

 

 

CAUTION

Your OmniBook’s computer chips are extremely static-sensitive. Static electricity

 

 

can permanently damage computer chips. Handle the RAM module only by its

 

 

edges. Before installing the memory module, discharge your body’s static

 

 

electricity by touching the metal shielding around the connectors on the rear of the

 

 

OmniBook.

 

 

1.

From the Start menu, shut down the OmniBook.

 

 

 

 

2.

Important. Unplug the ac adapter, if present, and remove the battery.

 

 

3.

Open the RAM compartment by removing the keyboard (described in the previous

 

 

 

topic).

 

 

4.

Release the two latches at the sides of the RAM board. Push them outward and away

 

 

 

from the sides of the board. When you release both latches, the free edge of the board

 

 

 

pops up.

Pull the board out of the connector. You can install a new board if you want.
