Expanding the OmniBook
Replacing Hardware
To add memory to the OmniBook
The OmniBook memory slots accommodate two memory-expansion boards. You can install a memory-expansion board to increase the total amount of memory.
Take precautions against damage from static electricity: Gather all the parts you need so you can complete the installation in one sitting. Don’t remove the memory -expansion board from its packaging until you’ve removed the slot cover from the OmniBook. Do not use an ac adapter from another product. When you remove the board from its packaging, hold it only by its edges. Don’t touch the electronic components or gold traces. Also, turn off the unit, unplug the ac adapter, and remove the battery. Otherwise, the OmniBook or memory -expansion board may be damaged.
