Adding or changing 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:

1Shut down your computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.

2Unplug the computer from the mains.

3Wait until the computer cools down.

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

4Before you add or change the memory module, touch a metal part of the computer to discharge any static electricity accumulated on your body.

5Remove the old memory module, if necessary (see Removing a memory module).

6Slide the new memory module into the slot, making sure the release levers click into place and secure the memory card.

7Slide the main unit back into its protective cabinet and replace the screw.

8Turn on your computer.
