Your memory module sockets have gold metal
contacts. When upgrading your memory, it is important to use
memory modules with gold metal contacts to prevent corrosion
and/or oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in
contact with each other.
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage the electronic com-
ponents of the computer or optional cards. Before beginning these
procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by
briefly touching a grounded metal object. Refer to Appendix F,
"Electrostatic Discharge," for more information.
CAUTION:
When handling a memory module, be careful not to
touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.
