To replace a memory module, do the following:
1
Turn off the computer. Disconnect the AC power adapter and all cables
from the computer. Wait three to five minutes to let the computer cool.
2
Close the computer display and turn the computer over.
3
Remove the battery pack.
4
Remove the main compartment cover.

Locate the memory module that needs replacement. Press out on the
latches on both edges of the socket at the same time, and then remove the
memory module to make room for the new one. Save the removed
memory module for future use.
Attention:
• Use only the memory types supported by your computer. If you incorrectly install
optional memory, or install an unsupported memory type, a warning beep will sound
when you try to start the computer.
Attention:
• Before replacing a memory module, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object to
reduce any static electricity in your body. The static electricity could damage the
memory module.
