Getting Started

Adding memory (optional)

9 Remove the memory module slot cover.

10 Place the screw(s) and the cover in a safe place so that you can

retrieve them later.

Static electricity can damage the memory module. Before you handle

the module, touch a grounded metal surface to discharge any static

electricity you may have built up.

Avoid touching the connector on the memory module or on the

computer. Grease or dust on the connector may cause memory

access problems.

11 Carefully remove the new memory module from its antistatic

packaging, without touching its connector.

12 Locate an empty memory module slot on the underside of the

computer.

If no memory slot is available, you must remove a module by

performing steps 2-3 of “Removing a memory module” on page 51.

If your system has the memory modules stacked on top of one

another, you must remove the top module first before

removing/installing the bottom module.

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.
