2-6 Removal and Replacement HP Omnibook XT6050, XT/VT6200
Removing an SDRAM Module
(User-Replaceable)
The notebook has no SDRAM built into its motherboard, but has two slots for SDRAM modules. One
slot contains an SDRAM module installed at the factory.
Note
Omnibook XT6050 models use only PC133 SDRAM modules, and Omnibook XT/VT6200 models
use only DDR266 SDRAM modules. Using the wrong type of module prevents the notebook from
booting.
Caution
Handle the SDRAM module only by its edges and provide proper grounding, or you might damage
the module through electrostatic discharge.
Required Equipment
•
Small Phillips screwdriver.
Removal Procedure
1. Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery and any secondary battery module.
2. On the bottom of the notebook, loosen the screws holding the SDRAM cover (the cover retains the
screws), and remove the cover.
3. Press outward to release the latches at the sides of the SDRAM module, so that the free edge of the
module pops up.
4. Carefully pull the module out of the connector.

inserted. Then press down on both sides of the module until the latches snap closed.
