Replacing Or Adding Memory - Gateway E-1600 System Manual

Replacing or adding memory

The SDRAM DIMMs supported by your system board conform to the following
standards:
32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, and 256 MB DIMMs.
64 MB minimum system memory.
Single- or double-sided configurations.
512 MB maximum system memory.
Memory is installed in two slots on the system board. When you are selecting
and installing DIMMs, keep the following in mind:
No jumper settings are required for the memory size or type because the
BIOS automatically detects this information.
DIMMs must be installed in the lowest numbered slot first.
To add or replace DIMMs:
1
Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cord, modem cable (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2
Remove the cover. (See "Removing the cover" on page 17 and "Static
electricity precautions" on page 15.)
3
If necessary, carefully move the cables aside to gain access to the DIMMs.
4
Remove the DIMM by pressing open the socket latches on each side of
the DIMM socket, then lift the DIMM out of the socket. Store the DIMM
in an antistatic container.
