conditions. You can damage the computer and the module.
1. The computer is turned on.
2. The computer was shut down using Standby mode.
3. Power to the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive has been
turned on.
Do not install or remove a memory module while the
DVD-ROM or multi-function drive power is on.
You need a standard Phillips no. 0 (zero) screwdriver and a
small flat-head screwdriver to install a memory module.
To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a standard
Phillips no. 0 (zero) screwdriver that is in good condition.
