To install an SO-DIMM, do the following:
1. Touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action reduces any
static electricity in your body, that could damage the SO-DIMM. Do not
touch the contact edge of the SO-DIMM.
2. Turn off the computer; then disconnect the ac adapter and all cables
from the computer.
3. Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.
4. Remove the battery.
5. Loosen the two screws on the memory slot cover, and remove them.
6. If two SO-DIMMs are already installed in the memory slots, remove one
of them to make room for the new one by pressing out on the latches on
both edges of the socket at the same time. Be sure to save it for future
use.
7. With the notched end of the SO-DIMM toward the contact edge side of
the socket, firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the socket at an angle of
about 20 degrees; then pivot it downward until it snaps into place.
