3. Using Your Notebook PC
3-5 Memory Upgrade Module
Your notebook PC comes with either 128MB or 256MB of high speed Synchronous
Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) factory installed. To increase your notebook’s memory
capacity, you may install an additional memory upgrade module. The memory upgrade
must be a dual-in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module.
CAUTION
Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade module
compartment except the one specifically shown in the directions
for installing and removing the memory upgrade module.
3-5-1 INSTALLING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE
To install a memory upgrade module follow these steps:
WARNING You must turn off power before installing the memory upgrade
module.
1. Turn off power to your notebook PC using the power switch, and remove any
power adapter.
2. Place your notebook PC upside-down on a clean work surface.
3. Open the top cover all the way, so that it is lying flat on the work surface.
4. Remove the screw holding the memory compartment cover.
CAUTION
The memory upgrade module can be severely damaged by
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Be sure you are properly grounded
when handling and installing the module.
5. Align the connector edge of the memory upgrade module, chip side up, with the
connector slot in the compartment.
6. Insert the memory upgrade module at a 45 o angle and press it firmly onto the
connector.
7. Press the memory upgrade module down into the compartment until it locks under-
neath the retaining clip. You will hear a click when it is properly in place.
8. Replace the cover and screw that were removed previously. Installation of the new
memory module is now complete.
POINT
The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely
remove from your notebook PC. Once it is installed, you should
leave it in place unless you want to increase system memory
capacity.
