Installing Memory

Static electricity can damage electronic components.

Turn all equipment OFF. Don’t let your clothes touch the accessory. To equalize the static electricity, rest the accessory bag on top of the PC while you are removing the accessory from the bag. Handle the accessory as little as possible and with care.

Main Memory Modules
