If you install a memory module that is not compatible with the computer,
beep will sound when you turn on the power. If the memory module is
installed in slot A, there will be a long beep (1 second) followed by two short
beeps (0.5 second each). If the memory module is in slot B, there will be a
long beep followed by four short beeps. If the both memory modules in slot
A and slot B are incompatible, there will be a long beep followed by two
short beeps and after a pause (1 second) a long beep followed by four short
beeps. In this case, shut down the power and remove the incompatible
module(s).
Installing a memory module
There are slots for two memory modules, one over the other. The procedures
are the same for installing either module.

sure the Power indicator is off. Refer to the Turning off the power section
in Chapter 3, Getting Started.
