Installing Additional RAM (Memory)
The notebook has two slots that hold two RAM modules. At least one slot contains a
RAM module installed at the factory. You can use both slots to expand your RAM.
To install a RAM expansion module
Use PC2100 DDR-266 MHz or higher RAM only.
You’ll need a small Phillips screwdriver for these steps.
CAUTION
The internal components of your notebook are extremely sensitive to static
electricity and can be permanently damaged by it. Handle the RAM module
only by its edges. Before installing the memory module, discharge your body’s
static electricity by touching the metal shielding around the connectors on the
back of the notebook.
1. Select Start > Turn Off Computer > Turn Off.
2. Important: unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery.
3. Turn the unit bottom-side up, loosen the screws holding the RAM cover, and
remove the cover.
