Memory expansion

Your notebook has between 256 MB and 2 GB of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade

Installing and removing the memory extension

If you are asked by the Hotline/Help Desk to remove and install the memory extension yourself,
proceed as follows:
Please note the information provided in the "Safety notes" section in the "Important notes"
!
chapter.
The notebook must be switched off when installing/removing memory modules, and must
not be in Suspend mode.
Use only memory expansions which have been released for your notebook: 256 MB, 512
MB or 1 GB modules DDR2-400 SO DIMM (PC 3200) or 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB
modules DDR2-533 SO DIMM (PC 4200).
Never use force when installing or removing memory modules.
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.
The memory modules are located in a larger service compartment. You must open the entire service
compartment when removing and installing a memory module. Once you have removed the cover,
the various components are exposed. These components should be removed and replaced only by

notebook before removing or installing the memory modules. Otherwise, there is a danger
of being burned!

installing and removing boards and components" in the chapter "Important notes".
