Precautions
This section describes safety guidelines and precautions to help you protect your computer from potential
damage.
Your VAIO desktop and memory modules use high precision components and electronic connectors
technology. To avoid the invalidation of your guarantee by mishandling, it is recommended that:
You contact your dealer to install a new memory module.
You do not install memory modules yourself, if you are not familiar with upgrading memory on a
computer.
Please contact VAIO-Link if you need assistance.
Adding and removing memory
In the future, you may want to install memory modules to expand the functionality of your computer. You
can increase the memory by installing optional memory modules, although we recommend that you do not
install them yourself, unless you are familiar with upgrading memory on a computer.
Be careful when adding memory. Mistakes on installation or removal of the memory module may cause a
malfunction.
For memory upgrades, use only PC133 (CL3) SDRAM DIMM.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Before touching a memory expansion board,
remember the following:
Handle the memory module gently.
The procedures described in this document assume familiarity with the general terminology associated
with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and
modifying electronic equipment.
