conditions as you can damage the computer and/or the module, and
you risk losing data:
a. The computer is turned on.

Expansion memory is a precision electronic component that may be
fatally damaged by static electricity. Since the human body can carry
static electricity, it is important that you discharge yourself before
touching or installing any expansion memory modules. To discharge
your body's static electricity, simply touch any metal close to you with
bare hands.
If you install a memory module that is not compatible with the computer,
a beep will sound when you turn on the power. If the incompatible module is
installed in slot A, there will be a long beep (1 second) followed by one
short beep (0.5 seconds), while if the incompatible module is in slot B, there
will be a long beep followed by two short beeps. In the event both modules
are incompatible, there will be a long beep followed by one short beep,
a pause, and then a long beep followed by two short beeps. In all instances
you should shut down the computer and remove the incompatible
module(s).
Use a 0 point Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws.
Use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
