Replacing a Memory Module

Upgrade the memory in your computer with memory of the same type and speed as the
memory originally installed in your computer.
1 Complete the procedure "Removing a Memory Module" on page 17.
2 Open both latches of the memory module socket.
WARNING: Handle the memory module with care. Be careful to not touch any
memory module contacts. Touching the gold contacts may damage the module.
Avoid touching the memory chips.
3 Remove the new memory module from the antistatic packaging. Hold it by its
edges only.

memory module with the tab (B) on the memory socket. Push the module carefully and
firmly into the slot, ensuring that the latches on both ends snap into place.
