Chapter 4 Upgrading Your Computer
Upgrading the System Memory
Many applications will generally run faster when the computer’s dynamic memory capacity is increased. The
computer provides two DDR memory sockets. There is one located underneath the System Device Cover
and another one located underneath the keyboard. You can increase the amount of memory by replacing the
existing one with a dual inline memory module (commonly known as SO-DIMM) of a higher capacity. The
SO-DIMM can be 256MB, or 512MB in capacity. The SO-DIMM is of type DDR1 has 200 pins and runs on
2.5V.
Warning:
Memory upgrade is a delicate process. Please observe the following instructions carefully or have a qualified technician
install it for you. Damages due to mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacture’s warranty.
Warning:
Changing memory while your computer is in suspend or power-saving mode may cause permanent damage to the
hardware. Make sure you turn off the power and unplug the AC cord before proceeding with a memory upgrade.
Warning:
You should only use the DIMM module that is approved; otherwise the system may become unstable.
