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.
