NOTE: The RAM slot should already be populated with either a 2.0GB
or 4.0GB DDR3 module. If a 4.0GB module is already installed in the
slot, no further upgrade is possible as 4.0GB is the most that the
Sahara NetSlate a525 can utilize.
4. Using your fingers or a
small screwdriver, pull
the two metal restraining
clips on both sides of the
RAM module outward and
away from the module.
The top edge of the RAM
module should pop up
slightly when freed from
the restraining clips.
5. Gently pull out the RAM
module. Try not to touch
the module's connector
pins to keep them clean in
case you'd like to use this
module again.
6. To insert a new RAM
module, align the connec-
tor pins on the bottom
of the RAM module with
the RAM slot and slide the
module into the slot at the
same angle as when you
removed it. Make sure the
slot on the bottom of the
module lines up with the
tab on the RAM slot.

Once properly inserted
in the slot, press the RAM
module down flat until it
clicks into place. Make sure
that you have seated the

the RAM slot.
