2-16 Installation and Upgrade
2.
Remove the palm-rest cover by slowly unsnapping each section of the palm-
rest cover from the base unit.
3.
After you remove the entire palm-rest cover, remove the cable attaching the
glidepad to the daughterboard inside the unit.
4.
Lift the keyboard and tilt it towards the LCD panel. Remove the two round
screws securing the heat plate. You do not need to remove the other two flat
screws as these secure the cooling fan underneath. Remove the heat plate
afterwards.
5.
Take out the keyboard cable and remove the keyboard. You will see the
CPU module on the right side of the motherboard. If you do not have a CPU
module, you see two rectangular white connectors (MMC-1).

Three screws secure the upper corners of the CPU module. Remove them
and slowly pull out the CPU module.
CPU Module Location
7.
To insert the CPU module again, fit in the CPU module into the connectors
and make sure it fits snugly. Then, secure the screws again.
Memory Upgrade Procedure
The notebook computer offers two 64-bit memory slot using 144-pin SO-DIMM
(Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module) at 16MB, 32MB, and 64MB
SDRAM. This configuration supports single SO-DIMM module insertion on
any memory slots. The memory compartment is located on the underside of
your computer inside the memory compartment. The notebook has no memory
on-board so you should have at least one SO-DIMM 32MB RAM module for
optimum performance.
With two memory slots, you can have several combinations of 16MB, 32MB,
48MB, 64MB, 80MB, 96MB, and 128MB.
