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.
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.
If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step 5.

upper or lower right corner of the screen.

operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make sure the

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.
