Upgrading The System Memory - AVERATEC AV5500 User Manual

Upgrading the System Memory

Many applications will generally run faster when the computer's
dynamic memory capacity is increased. The computer provides two
DDR memory sockets, located underneath the System Device
Cover. You can increase the amount of memory by replacing the
existing one with a dual inline memory module (commonly known
as SO-DIMM) of a higher capacity. The SO-DIMM can be 256MB or
512MB in capacity. The SO-DIMM is of type DDR SDRAM, has 200
pins and runs on 2.5V. The SO-DIMM should be PC2700
compliant.
Warning:
Memory upgrade is a delicate process. Please observe the following
instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install it for you. Damages due to
mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacture's warranty.
Warning:
Changing memory while your computer is in suspend or power-saving
mode may cause permanent damage to the hardware. Make sure you turn off the
power and unplug the AC cord before proceeding with a memory upgrade.
Warning:
You should only use the DIMM module that is approved by the
manufacturer; otherwise the system may become unstable.
