Getting Started
Adding memory (optional)
To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a Phillips screwdriver
of the correct size 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 slots, allowing you to install one or
two memory modules.
Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the
computer. If you install or remove a memory module while the
computer is in Sleep or Hibernation mode, data will be lost.
For this model, Slot A is the bottom slot. Slot B is the top slot. If only
one memory module is to be installed, it must be installed in Slot A.
If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step 5.
1From the Start or Desktop screen, move your pointer over the
upper or lower right corner of the screen.
2When the Windows® Charms appear, click the Settings ()
Charm.
Pressing the power button before shutting down the Windows®
operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make sure the
system indicator panel’s storage drive light and the drive in-use light
are off. If you turn off the power while a disk/disc is being accessed,
you may lose data or damage the disk/disc and/or drive.
3In the lower right of the screen click the Power ( ) icon.
