Adding and Replacing Parts

NOTICE:

To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist

grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface (such as a
connector on the back of the computer).

3 If you are replacing a memory module, remove the existing module:

a

Use your fingertips to carefully spread apart the memory-module
securing clips on each end of the memory module connector until the
module pops up.

b

Remove the module from the connector.

NOTE:

If the memory module is not installed properly, the computer may not boot

properly. No error message indicates this failure.

4 Ground yourself and install the new memory module:

a

Align the notch in the module edge connector with the tab in the
connector slot.

b

Slide the module firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and rotate
the module down until it clicks into place. If you do not feel the click,
remove the module and reinstall it.
