Adding Or Replacing Memory - Gateway M320 User Manual

■ Remove the battery. For more information, see
on page
■ Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove any PC Cards.
Before working with computer components, follow these guidelines:
■ Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and
packing foam.
■ Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are
ready to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of
antistatic bags because only the inside of the bags provide
electrostatic protection.
■
Always hold components by their edges. Avoid touching the edge
connectors. Never slide components over any surface.
