Adding or replacing memory
Your notebook uses memory modules called SO-DIMMs (Small Outline Dual
Inline Memory Modules). The modules are available in various capacities and
any module can be placed in any available slot. Use only memory modules
designed for the Gateway 200STM for upgrading your memory.
To add or replace a memory module:
1 Follow the instructions under “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 244.
2 Turn off your notebook, disconnect the AC adapter and modem and
network cables.
3 If your notebook is attached to the docking station, detach it. For
instructions, see “Separating from the docking station” on page 33.
4 Turn your notebook over so the bottom is facing up.
5 Remove the battery. For instructions, see “Changing batteries” on
page 151.
