Installing a memory module
Your computer has two connectors for installing double data rate 2 dual inline
memory modules (DDR2 DIMMs) that provide up to a maximum of 4.0 GB of
system memory.
When installing memory modules, the following rules apply:

v Use 1.8 V, 240-pin double data rate 2 synchronous dynamic random access

memory (DDR2 SDRAM).

v Use 512 MB, 1.0 GB, or 2.0 GB memory modules in any combination up to a

maximum of 4.0 GB.

Note: Only DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs can be used.

To install a memory module:

1. Remove the computer cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 12.

Note: For this procedure, it helps to lay the computer on its side.

2. Locate the memory connectors. See “Identifying parts on the system board” on
page 9.

3. Open the retaining clips as shown.
