Removing a memory module
If you are not familiar with upgrading memory on a computer, we highly recommend that you contact your
dealer.
To remove a memory module, proceed as follows:
1 Shut down your computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.
2 Unplug the computer from the mains.
3 Wait until the computer cools down.
The inside of the main unit becomes very hot during operation. Wait for about one hour for the
computer to cool down before opening the unit.
4 Before you remove the memory module, touch a metal part of the computer to discharge any electricity
accumulated on your body.
5 Position the main unit so the back panel is facing you. Use a screwdriver to take out the screw under the
roof of the unit, just above the AC input connector (A).
6 Pull out the inner unit from its protective cabinet by holding the t-lever and pulling it slowly and firmly
(B). You do not need to remove the unit entirely to access the memory module.
7 Place the unit on its left side.
8 Locate the memory module.
9 Push down one of the end levers of the module socket and gently lift the memory module up before
taking it out completely (C).
