Getting Started

Adding memory (optional)

Avoid touching the connector on the memory module or on the computer. Grease or dust on the connector may cause memory access problems.

9Carefully remove the new memory module from its antistatic packaging, without touching its connector.

10Locate an empty memory module slot on the underside of the computer.

NOTE

If no memory slot is available, you must remove a module by

 

performing steps 2-3of “Removing a memory module” on page 54.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

If your system has the memory modules stacked on top of one

 

another, you must remove the top module first before

 

removing/installing the bottom module.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

For this model Slot B is the bottom slot. Slot A is the top slot. If only one

 

memory module is to be installed, it must be installed in slot A.

 

 

11Pick up the memory module by its sides, avoiding any contact with its connector. Position the module toward the socket, aligning the connector’s notch with the matching key in the socket.
