2. Disconnect any peripheral device interface cables from the external interface connectors and
remove any installed PCMCIA options.
3. Turn the notebook over and locate the Expansion Memory Access Cover on the bottom of the
notebook.
4. Remove the screw holding the Expansion Memory Access Cover and remove the cover.
5. To remove a memory module, first release the slot locks located on each side of the Expansion
Memory Connector to release the DIMM. Then pull the memory module out (refer to Figure 6-
