Installing a Memory Module
Your notebook comes with 16 MB of memory pre-installed. If you want to
expand the memory size, you can install any of the following modules; 8 MB
(CE-A311B), 16 MB (CE-A312B), or 32 MB (CE-A323B).
A memory module can be installed in the memory compartment in the base of the
notebook. You can install the memory module quite easily.
Follow the steps below to install a memory module. Please refer also to the
Installation Safety Precautions at the beginning of this chapter.
1.
Turn off the notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.
2.
Turn the notebook over and place it on a flat surface.
3.
Locate the memory compartment. Remove the cover of the compartment by
carefully levering the cover upwards.
4.
There are two vertical connectors inside the memory compartment and two
connectors on the base of the memory module. You will notice that one
corner of the module connectors is beveled. When you turn the module over
to install it, the beveled corner of the connector is nearest to the back side of
the notebook.
