install and remove optional memory modules.
■
You should place a mat beneath the computer in order to prevent the
computer's lid from becoming scratched or damaged when you are
installing/replacing the memory module. In this instance you should
avoid mats that are made of materials that hold or generate static
electricity.
■

you do not touch any other internal areas of the computer.

may be fatally damaged by static electricity. Since the human body can
carry static electricity, it is important that you discharge yourself before
touching or installing any additional memory modules. To discharge
your body's static electricity, simply touch any metal close to you with
bare hands.

Use an adequate screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws - the use of
an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
