computer. While you work, periodically touch the connector to dissipate any static electricity that
might harm internal components.
1. Turn off the computer and any attached peripherals, and disconnect them from their electrical outlets to
reduce the potential for personal injury or shock.
2. If the computer is docked, undock it.
3. Disconnect the AC adapter and any attached peripherals, including telephone or telecommunication
lines, from the computer.

Removing or Installing Memory Modules
To remove or install memory modules, perform the following steps:
1. Close the display, and turn the computer upside down.
2. Remove the memory module cover.
Locate the small rectangular indentation at one end of the memory module cover. Place the tip of
your finger under the cover by the indentation and firmly lift it up. When the door pops up, lift it up
to remove it and expose the memory modules underneath it.
3. If you are replacing a memory module, remove the old one.
Carefully spread apart the inner metal tabs of the memory module socket just far enough for the
memory module to disengage from the socket (it should pop up slightly). Then lift the memory module
away from the socket (see Figure 2).
