Slot A

Figure 3-11 Installing the memory module

■Never allow metal objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, to enter the computer or keyboard. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, which can cause computer damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.

■Do not touch the connectors on the memory module or on the computer. Debris on the connectors may cause memory access problems.

■The memory module cover will be hot after using the computer for long periods of time. Exercise caution when removing.

■Slot A is reserved for the first memory module. Use slot B for expansion memory modules. If only one module is installed, use slot A.

■When inserting or removing memory modules, make sure to use the correct slot (A or B).

■Align the grooves along the edges of the memory module with the locking tabs on the connector and insert the memory module into the connector firmly - if you find it difficult to install the memory module, gently prise the locking tabs outwards using the tip of your finger. Please also ensure that you hold the memory module along its left and right hand edges - the edges with the grooves in.
