Installing a memory module

A memory module can be installed in the memory module slot on
the base of the computer. You will need a small Phillips screwdriver
for this procedure.
If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step 3.
1 Click Start, and then Turn off computer or Shut Down
(depending on the system).
The Turn off computer or Shut Down window appears.
2 Click Turn Off or Shut Down.
The operating system turns off the computer.
3 Unplug and remove any cables connected to the computer,
including the AC adaptor.
4 Remove the main battery. For information on removing the
main battery, see
on page
If the computer has been running recently, the memory module may
be hot. The surrounding area may also be hot. Allow the module to
cool to room temperature before replacing it. Avoid touching the
cover, the module, and the surrounding area before they have cooled.
Failure to follow these directions could result in minor bodily injury.
To avoid damaging the computer's screws, use a small Phillips
screwdriver that is in good condition.
Installing a memory module with the computer's power on may
damage the computer, the module, or both.
Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the computer
using the Start menu. If you install or remove a memory module
while the computer is in Standby or Hibernation mode, data will be
lost.
