RAM Module

Removal

a. Locate the memory socket.

b. Pull the release latch(es).

c. Remove the mod- ule(s).



Contact Warning

Be careful not to touch the metal pins on the module’s connecting edge. Even the cleanest hands have oils which can attract particles, and degrade the module’s performance.

Removing the System Memory (RAM)

The computer has two memory sockets for 204 pin Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) supporting DDRII (DDR3) Up to 800/1066 MHz. The main memory can be expanded up to 4GB. The SO-DIMM modules support- ed are 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB and 2048MB DDRIII Modules. The total memory size is automatically detected by the POST routine once you turn on your computer.

Memory Upgrade Process

1.Turn off the computer, turn it over and remove the battery (page 2 - 6) and the component bay cover (page 2 - 7).

2.The RAM module(s) will be visible at point 1 on the mainboard.
