Chapter 11: Upgrading Your Notebook

Installing memory

Your notebook uses memory modules called SO-DIMMs (Small Outline Dual
Inline Memory Modules). The modules are available in various capacities and
any module can be placed in any available slot. Use only PC133 memory
modules for upgrading your memory.
To add or replace memory modules:
1
Follow the instructions under "Preventing static electricity discharge" on
page 151.
2
Shut down your notebook, then disconnect the power adapter and
modem and network cables.
3
Turn the notebook over, then remove the main battery (and second
battery, if installed). For more information, see "Changing batteries" on
page 112 and "Installing a second battery" on page 114.
