Note: 

Only use memory types supported by your computer.  If you incorrectly install the optional memory or install an 

unsupported memory type, a warning beep will sound when you try to start the computer.  To replace the standard memory 
that is accessed by removing your keyboard, refer to the procedure described within Access IBM. 

Touch a grounded metal object to reduce 
any static electricity in your body that could 
damage the SO-DIMM.  Avoid touching the contact 
edge of the SO-DIMM.  

Close the computer display and turn the computer 
over. 

Disconnect the ac adapter and all cables from the 
computer. 

Attention: 

Never use the computer with the 

memory slot cover open. 

Replace the battery and re-connect the ac 
adapter and cables. 

Verify that the "Installed memory" item shows the total amount of memory installed in your computer.  For example, if your 
computer had 256 MB of standard memory and you install an additional 512 MB SO-DIMM, the quantity shown in 
"Installed memory" should be 768 MB.

If a SO-DIMM is already installed, remove it as 
shown.  Save the SO-DIMM for future use.
