Getting Started

Adding memory (optional)

To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a Phillips screwdriver

of the correct size that is in good condition.

Installing a memory module with the computer’s power on may

damage the computer, the module, or both.

Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the

computer. If you install or remove a memory module while the

computer is in Sleep or Hibernation mode, data will be lost.

If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step 5.

1 From the Start or Desktop screen, move your pointer over the

upper or lower right corner of the screen.

2 When the Windows

Charms appear, click the Settings ()

Charm.

Pressing the power button before shutting down the Windows

operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make sure the

system indicator panel’s storage drive light and the drive in-use light

are off. If you turn off the power while a disk/disc is being accessed,

you may lose data or damage the disk/disc and/or drive.

3 In the lower right of the screen click the Power ( ) icon.
