Point to note about memory module error
If you install a memory module that is not compatible with the computer, the
Power indicator will flashes (on for 0.5 seconds, off for 0.5 seconds) in the
following ways;
■
If there is an error in only Slot A or no memory module is inserted in Slot
A: repeatedly flashes orange twice, then green.
■
If there is an error in Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange, then green
twice.
■
If there are errors in both Slot A and Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange
twice, then green twice.
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 -
the use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
