Installing a RAM Expansion Card and Removing Your Hard Disk 79
Installing a RAM Expansion Card
To install a RAM expansion card in your PowerBook, follow these steps:
1 If you have not already done so, remove the PowerBook keyboard and internal heat sink as
described in “Removing the Keyboard and Internal Heat Sink” on page 75.
2 Locate the empty RAM expansion slot.
Note: If you ordered your PowerBook with additional memory, this slot may already have a
RAM card installed.
3 Gently touch the metal surface on the right side of the inside of the computer to discharge
any static electricity built up on your body.
This prevents damage to your Macintosh PowerBook or RAM card.
Don’t walk around while installing the card. If you do, touch the metal surface again to
discharge any static electricity.
Important Make sure that the RAM expansion card you are installing is made for your
Macintosh PowerBook model. Components designed for other PowerBook models will not
work with your computer.
