object.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Turn the computer off and disconnect the AC power supply and any other cables from
the unit.
Note: If the unit appears to be powered down, ensure that it is not in Suspend
mode.
2.Turn the computer upside-down. Remove the battery from the system. If you are not
familiar with this procedure,please refer to your computer’s “Owner’s Manual.”
3.Locate the memory expansion cover on the right side of the bottom panel. Also locate
the two holding screws securing this cover to the bottom panel. Remove the screws with
a small Phillips screwdriver. Then remove cover by lifting it toward you.
4.Locate the single memory expansion slot in the open compartment. Notice the loca-
tion of the off-center key on the expansion slot. One expansion slot will be occupied with
the standard memory module.
5.To install a memory module, insert the
module into the expansion slot at an
angle and then push it down until it clicks
into place. To be certain that the module
is installed correctly, ensure that the off-
center notch on the module is aligned
with the off-center key of the expansion
slot. The module can only be installed
one way due to the position of the notch.
6.Replace the memory expansion cover and be sure to secure its two holding screws.
7.Replace the battery back into its compartment and turn the system right-side up.
8.Replace the AC power supply and any other cables you may have disconnected.
9. Open the display screen and turn the system on. The computer will automatically
reconfigure itself to recognize the newly added memory. The new memory can be veri-
fied during the POST routine at start-up and at the SETUP utility.
The installation is now complete.
