60 Chapter 06: Upgrading Your Sahara NetSlate
5. Gently pull out the RAM
module. Try not to touch the
module’s connector pins to
keep them clean in case you’d
like to use this module again.
6. To insert a new RAM module,
align the connector pins
on the bottom of the RAM
module with the RAM module
socket and slide the module
into the socket at the same
angle as when you removed it.
7. Once properly inserted in the
socket, press the RAM module
down flat until it clicks into
place. Make sure that you have
seated the module completely
into it’s slot before pressing
it down. When the module
is properly seated, it should
click right into place when you
press it down. Many memory
errors or boot up failures after
a RAM upgrade are due to an
improperly seated module.
8. Replace the cover on this compartment and then replace
and tighten the screws.
Upgrading the Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
The computer’s HDD is the storage facility that holds all the files
on your computer. If you find you are running out of space, you
might consider upgrading to a larger drive.
Typically, when a computer’s HDD fills up, its access time begins
to increase and your system seems to slow down. When this
occurs, upgrading to a larger drive often will equate to better
performance.
