Memory Modules

You can increase system memory by installing optional memory
modules. You can install 8, 16, 32, or 64 MB modules. Install
memory modules in any combination of sizes.

To avoid possible system problems, use only
AST-approved memory modules in your
computer.

Before You Install Memory

To prevent personal injury and damage to the
equipment, follow the precautions listed here
before installing a memory module.

Before you remove the memory module compartment
door, turn off the computer, unplug the AC adapter or
auto/airline adapter, and remove the battery. Also,
disconnect any peripheral devices.

Before handling a memory module, discharge any static
electricity by touching a grounded surface or using a
grounding wrist strap.

Do not insert objects with conductive material, such as
metal screwdrivers or graphite pencils, into the memory-
module compartment.

Installing a Memory Module

Handle memory modules carefully. Hold them
only by the edges.

To install a memory module:

1.

Turn the computer over so that the bottom faces up.

2.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw that holds
the memory-module compartment door in place (Figure
22).
