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 and Power-Up Modes, 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.Insert your fingernail or a thin and flat object under the cover and lift it off.
