Adding / replacing a memory module

If you are not familiar with upgrading memory on a computer, we highly recommend that you contact your dealer.

To add or change a memory module, proceed as follows:

1 Shut down the computer, unplug it, and remove any peripheral devices.

2Wait for the computer to cool down.

The inside of the main unit becomes very hot during operation. Wait for about one hour for the computer to cool down before opening the unit.

3 With the main unit’s back panel facing you, locate the tabs on the side cover, and release them up until the cover opens, as shown.

4 Set the cover aside.
