3. Remove the DIMM from the second socket of bank 1, following the procedure in
step 2.
Caution:
Do not touch the connector near the DIMM removal levers.
You are now ready to begin the installation.
Installing 2 GB of Memory
This procedure assumes there are no 1 GB DIMMs currently installed, and you are
installing the two 1 GB upgrade DIMMs in bank 1, sockets 1 and 2.
Caution:
Memory modules are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Handle the
modules carefully, and wear the wrist strap while installing them.
To install the two 1 GB upgrade DIMMs, read the “About Memory” section on page 6,
then follow these steps:
1.
Insert a 1 GB upgrade DIMM into the first socket in bank 1 (gently but firmly).
DIMMs are notched on the bottom so they cannot be inserted incorrectly, as shown
in Figure 7.
You hear a click as it is seated, and the latch on the end of the socket moves up.
2. Insert the other 1 GB upgrade DIMM into the second socket in bank 1 (gently but
firmly).
3. You are finished installing 2 GB of memory.
If you want to reinstall the lower density DIMMs you removed, make sure you
follow the rules in the “About Memory” section on page 6. This means you may
need to remove any existing DIMMs (except for the 1 GB DIMMs), and reinstall
them in the proper order.
