Installing a memory module
Additional memory modules can be installed in the memory
expansion slots on the base of the computer. You will need a
standard Phillips no. 1 screwdriver for this procedure.
Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the
computer using the Start menu. If you install or remove a
memory module while the computer is in Standby or
Hibernation mode, data will be lost.
To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a standard
Phillips no. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.
The computer has two memory expansion slots — Slot A and
Slot B. You can install one or two memory modules.
1
Shut down your computer completely using the Shut Down
command. See

Installing a memory module with the computer’s power on may
damage the computer, the module, or both.

have connected.

Locate and remove the screws that hold the cover plate in
