Installing Additional RAM (Memory)

 

 

The notebook has two slots that hold two RAM modules. At least one slot contains a

 

 

RAM module installed at the factory. You can use both slots to expand your RAM.

 

 

 

 

 

To install a RAM expansion module

 

 

Use PC2100 DDR-266 MHz or higher RAM only.

 

 

You’ll need a small Phillips screwdriver for these steps.

 

 

 

CAUTION

The internal components of your notebook are extremely sensitive to static

 

 

electricity and can be permanently damaged by it. 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

 

 

back of the notebook.

Select Start > Turn Off Computer > Turn Off.

 

 

 

 

2.

Important: unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery.
