Getting Started

Adding memory (optional)

Installing a memory module

Memory modules can be installed in the memory module slots on

the base of the computer. You will need a small Phillips screwdriver

for this procedure.

If the computer has been running recently, the memory module may

be hot. The surrounding area may also be hot. Allow the module to

cool to room temperature before replacing it. Avoid touching the

cover, the module, and the surrounding area before they have cooled.

Failure to follow these directions could result in minor bodily injury.

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

screwdriver that is in good condition.

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

damage the computer, the module, or both.

The computer has two memory slots—Slot A and Slot B. You can

install one or two memory modules.

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 Sleep or Hibernation mode, data will be lost.

For this model Slot A is the bottom slot. Slot B is the top slot. If only

one memory module is to be installed, it must be installed in Slot A.
