Swapping Modules
The proper way to cleanly swap or interchange modules is to power off the
notebook without the help of any suspend modes. The notebook needs to
perform a “cold boot” (Windows 95 shutdown or via the Eject menu) or
“warm boot” (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to correctly detect and identify the module currently
installed in the module bay. Simply closing the display lid will only put the
notebook in either suspend-to-disk or suspend-to-memory.
Follow these steps to swap modules:
1. Do a Windows 95 shutdown.
If you are not using the
notebook under Windows 95,
you can use the Power-Off
option by accessing the Eject
Menu (Fn-F9).
2. Close the display lid.
3. Slide the module release lock
and press the module release
latch and pull out the module.
4. Insert the new module securely
into the module bay.
5. Open the display lid. After
opening the display, the
notebook automatically senses
the new module.
