Installing Additional RAM

CAUTION
Configuring and Expanding Your Computer
Installing Additional RAM
Your computer has no memory (RAM) built in, but has two slots for RAM modules: the
system RAM slot beneath the keyboard (which contains a module installed at the
factory), and an expansion slot on the bottom of the unit. You can use both of these slots
to expand your unit's RAM. Use HP PC-100 SDRAM only.
You'll need a small Phillips screwdriver for these procedures.

To install a RAM expansion module

To increase your computer's RAM, you can install a RAM module in the expansion slot
on the bottom of the computer.
Your computer's chips are extremely sensitive to static electricity, and can be
permanently damaged by it. Handle the RAM module only by its edges. Before
installing the memory module, discharge your body's static electricity by touching
the metal shielding around the connectors on the rear of the computer.
1. Shut down the computer: click Start, Shut Down, Shut down.
2. Important: Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery.
3. From the bottom of the computer, remove the screw holding the RAM cover, and
remove the cover.
4. Carefully insert the edge of the RAM module into the connector at about a 30° angle
until it is fully seated. Then press down on both sides until the latches snap closed.
5. Replace the cover.
6. Insert the battery.
