Caution
To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the
memory chips, ground yourself by touching the metal
surface on the inside of the computer’s back panel. Then
remain as stationary as possible while you install them.
3.
Remove the memory chips from their package and inspect
each one. The pins should point inward at slightly less than
a 90
o
angle.
If any of the pins are bent, straighten them gently with your
fingers or with small tweezers to align them with the other
pins. Be careful when you do this; the pins are fragile and
can break off easily.
4.
Position one of the video chips over the first empty socket as
shown below, aligning the pins on the chip with the holes
in the socket. Make sure the notch in the end of the chip is
aligned with a similar notch in the socket.
