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. Loose a screw securing the memory module cover. The screw is

attached to the cover to prevent it from being lost.

5. Slide your fingernail or a thin object under the cover and lift it off.

Align the grooves of the memory module with the locking tabs of the

connector and insert the module into the connector firmly. If you find it

difficult to install the memory module, try to adjust the tabs of the connector

with a pen tip or other tools. Make sure to hold the memory module with

your fingers on the side edges (sides with grooves).
