Getting Started

Adding memory (optional)

9Carefully remove the new memory module from its antistatic packaging, without touching its connector.

10Locate an empty memory module slot on the underside of the computer.

NOTE

If no memory slot is available, you must remove a module by

 

performing steps 2-3of “Removing a memory module” on

 

page 63.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

If your system has the memory modules stacked on top of one

 

another, you must remove the top module first before

 

removing/installing the bottom module.

 

 

11Pick up the memory module by its sides, avoiding any contact with its connector. Position the module toward the socket, aligning the connector’s notch with the matching key in the socket.
