Installing a memory module
Upgrade the memory in your HP TouchSmart PC with memory of the same type and speed as the memory
originally installed in your HP TouchSmart PC. The two memory modules must be identical in type, speed,
and capacity.
1 With the DVD cable moved out of the way, align the memory module with the socket, so the key slot on
the connector edge is same as the module removed.
2 Slide the memory module into the socket at the same angle it was removed.
3 Push the outer edge of the memory module down until the retaining clip latches catch.
4 Move the DVD cable out of the way and insert the DVD drive. Slide the drive in until the tab catches.
5 Reconnect the DVD drive cable.
6 Complete the procedures to replace the rear cover, and close the HP TouchSmart PC. See “Opening
and Closing the HP TouchSmart PC” on page 45.
WARNING: Do not pull the memory module out of the socket. Use the latches of the retaining
clips to remove the module.
CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts.
Doing so may damage the module.
NOTE: The sockets are keyed. If the module slot does not match the socket, turn the memory
module over.
NOTE: If a blank screen is displayed after replacing or adding a memory module, the memory is
installed incorrectly or it is the wrong type of memory. Remove and reinstall the memory module.
