REMOVING AND INSTALLING MEMORY
There are two DIMM slots in your Tablet PC. 256 MB,
512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB modules are available, so you
can install a combination of up to 4 GB in the system
.
Installing a Memory Module
To install a DIMM module in the Tablet PC:
1. Ensure that the Tablet PC is off. To do so, carry out
the Shut Down command in the Start menu. (Do not
attempt to remove or install a DIMM module when
the system is in Standby mode or running.)
2. Remove the two screws from the cover plate on the
back of the Tablet PC and remove the cover plate as
shown in Figure 2-8.

3. Insert the DIMM module in the socket at an angle
and push it down until it locks into place as shown in
Figure 2-9. Note that the DIMM module is keyed to
prevent it from being inserted backwards.

4. Reinstall the cover and screws that you removed in
step 2.
5. Confirm that the DIMM module is recognized by the
system. To do so, run BIOS Setup. The size of the
DIMM module should be displayed in the Info menu
in BIOS Setup.
The DIMM module is installed in the Tablet PC and you
can now use the system.
Removing a Memory Module
To remove a DIMM module:
1. Ensure that the Tablet PC is off. To do so, carry out
the Shut Down command in the Start menu. (Do not

the system is in Standby mode or running.)
■
Do not remove any screws from the
memory upgrade module compartment
except the ones specifically shown in the
directions for installing and removing the
memory upgrade module.
■
The memory upgrade module can be
severely damaged by electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD). To minimize risk to the
module, observe the following precau-
tions:
■
Before handling a memory module,
touch a grounded metal object to
discharge static electricity built up in
your body.
■
When installing or removing a
memory module, hold it by the edge
so as not to touch any contacts or
chips. Be careful not to touch any
internal computer terminals or
components; the oil from your fingers
could cause a short to the compo-
nents.
■
Be sure to power down your system
before adding or removing memory
modules. Even if the system is in
hibernate or standby states, data
could be lost or the memory could be
damaged if power is still available to
the system.
