Installing the Memory Modules

NOTE: If the memory module is not installed properly, the computer may not
boot properly. No error message indicates this failure.
1. Align the notch in the module edge connector with the tab in the connector slot.
2. Slide the module firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and rotate the
module down until it clicks into place. If you do not feel the click, remove the
module and reinstall it.
3. Replace the cover and tighten the captive screw.
NOTICE: If the memory module cover is difficult to close, remove the module
and reinstall it. Forcing the cover to close may damage your computer.
4. Insert the battery into the battery bay, or connect the AC adapter to your
computer and an electrical outlet.
