Beep Codes Errors can occur during POST (Power On Self Test), which is performed every time the computer is powered on. Fatal errors (see below) are communicated through a series of audible beeps. All errors except Beep Code 8 are fatal errors. Fatal errors do not allow the computer to continue the boot process.

The battery pack should already be inserted in your Notebook computer when you unpack it. If not inserted, follow these directions: Turn over the notebook and place it on a solid, flat surface. Angle the battery into the bay. The front edge of the battery should slide into the grooves in the system case. Gently lower the battery into the bay and push it until it clicks securely in the bay.
Upgrading your Memory Refer to the following instructions and illustration for information on upgrading your notebook's memory. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals. Turn the notebook over so that the rear ports are facing you and locate the memory module compartment. Remove the screws that secure the RAM module compartment cover and set it aside in a safe place.
Insert the edge connector into the slot. The gold edge connector of the card should not be visible when the card is fully inserted. Press the card downward where you should hear an audible click as the latches of the connector secure the card in place.
