5. Slide your fingernail or a thin object under the cover and lift it off.
6. Align the notch of the memory module with that of the memory slot and
gently insert the module into the slot at about a 45 degree angle before
holding it down until the latches on either side snap into place.
■
Never allow metal objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, to
enter the computer. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit,
which can cause computer damage and fire, possibly resulting in
serious injury.
■
Do not touch the connectors on the memory module or on the
computer. Debris on the connectors may cause memory access
problems.
Align the grooves along the edges of the memory module with the locking
tabs on the connector and insert the module into the connector firmly - if
you find it difficult to install the memory module, gently prise the locking
tabs outwards using the tip of your finger.
Please also ensure that you hold the memory module along its left and
right hand edges - the edges with the grooves in.
