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 , for details.
4. Loosen the 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.

6. Align the notch of the memory module with that of the memory slot and
gently insert the module into the slot at about a 45 degree angle before
pressing it down until the latches on either side snap into place.

Align the grooves along the edges of the memory module with the locking
tabs on the connector and insert the module into the connector firmly. If
you find it difficult to install the memory module, gently prize the locking
tabs outwards using the tip of your finger. Ensure that you hold the memory
module along its left and right hand edges - the edges with the grooves in.
