Installing a memory module

Additional memory modules can be installed in the memory module slots on the base of the computer. You will need a standard Phillips No. 1 screwdriver for this procedure.

If you use the computer for a long time, the memory module will become hot. If this happens, let the module cool to room temperature before you replace it.

To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a standardPhillips No. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.

Installing a memory module with the computer’s power on may damage the computer, the module, or both.

The computer has two memory module slots. You can install one or two memory modules.

Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the computer using the Start menu. If you install or remove a memory module while the computer is in Standby or Hibernation mode, data will be lost.
