Memory expansion

Your notebook has 256 Mb - 2 Gb of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level. The
notebook will not start without memory modules, as no fixed main memory is installed.

Installing and removing the memory extension

If you are asked by the Hotline/Help Desk to remove and install the memory extension yourself,
proceed as follows:
Please take note of the safety information in the "Important notes" chapter.
!
The notebook must be switched off when installing/removing the memory modules, it
must not be in Suspend mode.
