When installing/removing memory modules, the battery must be removed from
the notebook and the notebook must not be connected to the power supply,
see

Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your
notebook (see
"Technical data", Page 74
).
Never use force when installing or removing a memory extension.
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.
You must open the service compartment to remove or install a memory module. On some devices,
opening the compartment may expose other components. These components should be removed

Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we
recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the notebook before removing
or installing memory modules. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffering burns!
As some components are exposed that are sensitive to static electricity, please take
note of chapter
