Adding / replacing a memory module
If you are not familiar with upgrading memory on a computer, we highly recommend that you contact your
dealer.
To add or change a memory module, proceed as follows:
1 Shut down the computer, unplug it, and remove any peripheral devices. Wait for the computer to cool
down.
2 Open the unit (see Opening the side cover (page 81)).
3 To remove an existing memory module, release the end latches and gently lift out the module.
4 To insert a new memory module, remove it from its anti-static package, handling it only by the edges.
5 Locate the notch on the bottom edge of the memory module (1).
6 Align the memory module over the slot, making sure the module is facing the correct way (2).
