102 Chapter 06: Upgrading Your Sahara Slate PC
3. When disconnecting a cable from the computer, always pull
on its connector, not on the cable itself. When reconnecting
a cable, make sure that both the connector and any cor-
responding pins are aligned properly with the cable before
attempting to secure it in place.
4. Handle all components with care. Do not touch the compo-
nents or contacts on the connectors or the underside of the
drives. Always hold such components by the edges or sides.
5. All electronic components inside a computer are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. Therefore it is important to properly
ground yourself before attempting any of the following
procedures; either by using a wrist grounding strap or by
periodically touching an exposed, unpainted metal surface.
6. You should only attempt upgrades and/or component
replacements on a solid, clean, flat surface.
CAUTION: Damage resulting from the servicing of your computer that
is not authorized by TabletKiosk is not covered by your computer’s
standard or optional extended warranty.
Upgrading Memory (RAM)
You can increase your system’s memory by installing additional
RAM (Random Access Memory) modules on the computer’s
system board. Typically, the more RAM your computer has, the
better it will perform, especially when running multiple tasks or
applications simultaneously.
Your Sahara Slate PC can accommodate two (2) DDR3, 204-pin
SODIMM modules for a total of up to 16.0 GB RAM. Both modules
are located in the RAM compartment that is accessible on the
back panel of the Tablet PC.
NOTE: You can install a maximum of 16.0GB of RAM using two (2)
8.0GB SODIMM modules. Core i7 systems can use up to DDR3-1666
SODIMMs, while Celeron systems can use up to DDR3-1333 (although
DDR3-1666 will work, just not at full speed). If you are planning to add
RAM module(s) instead of replacing one (or both) modules you should
only use matched pairs of SODIMMs to reduce the chance of memory
errors. Check with the dealer where you bought your Tablet PC if you
are unsure what type of RAM is in your system.
