Getting Started

Setting up your computer

Removing the memory slot cover screws

7Put the screws and the cover in a safe place so that you can retrieve them later.

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the memory module. Before you handle the module, touch a grounded metal surface to discharge any static electricity you may have built up.

To avoid damaging the memory module, be careful not to touch its gold connector bar (on the side you insert into the computer).

8Remove the new memory module from its antistatic packaging.

9Holding the memory module by its edges so that the gold connector bar faces the slot, fit the module into the socket.

10Gently press down on the memory module connector until the clips snap into place.

Do not force the module into position. The memory module should be level when secured in place.
