Installing a memory module

There are slots for two memory modules, one over the other. The procedures are the same for installing either module.

1.Set the computer to boot mode and turn the computer’s power off. Make sure the Power indicator is off. Refer to the Turning off the power section in Chapter 3, Getting Started.

2.Remove AC Adaptor and all cables connected to the computer.

3.Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery pack. Refer to Replacing the battery pack section in Chapter 6, Power, for details.

4.Loosen the screw securing the memory module cover. The screw is attached to the cover to prevent it from being lost.

5.Slide your fingernail or a thin object under the cover and lift it off.

Seating the memory module

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