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 the slot. Use only memory
modules designed for your Gateway notebook for upgrading your
memory.
To add or replace memory modules:
1 Follow the guidelines under “Preventing static electricity discharge”
on page 72.
2 Turn off your notebook.
3 Disconnect the AC adapter, modem cable, and network cable.
4 Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove any PC cards.
5 Disconnect your notebook from the optional port replicator (see
“Disconnecting from the port replicator” on page 86).
6 Turn your notebook over so the bottom is facing up.
