Installing Memory Module

To install a memory module, make sure the computer is in boot mode then:
1. Turn the computer off in boot mode. Refer to the

Turning Off The Power

4. Remove one screw securing the memory module cover.
5. Lift off the cover.

If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules will

become hot. In this case, let the memory modules cool to room

temperature before you replace them.

Do not try to install a memory module with the computer turned on or

turned off in Sleep Mode and Hibernation Mode. You can damage the

computer and the memory module.

Use a point size 0 Phillips screwdriver.

Insert the two memory modules of the same specifications and

capacity into Slot A and Slot B respectively. The computer will operate

in dual channel mode. You can access the inserted memory modules

efficiently in dual channel.
