Memory Module Upgrade - MAXDATA M-BOOK 4500 U G1 User Manual

MEMORY MODULE UPGRADE

To increase your notebook's memory capacity (up to 8 GB maximum), additional memory modules
may be installed. The memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module.
Installing a Memory Module
The following steps describe how to install a memory upgrade module. We do not recommend
that you do this yourself.
1. Turn off power to your notebook using the power switch, disconnect the power adapter,
and/or remove the battery pack.
2. Place your notebook upside-down on a
clean work surface.
3. Remove the three screws securing the main
compartment cover in place.
4. Pry up the main compartment cover starting
from the center of the top edge, then around
the left and right side. Once the cover is
released from the securing tabs, lift it away
from the system.
5. The memory upgrade module can be
severely damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Be sure you are properly grounded when handling and installing the module.
6. Align the connector edge of the memory upgrade module, chip side up, with the connector
slot in the compartment.
7. Insert the memory upgrade module at a 45
8. Press the memory upgrade module down into the compartment until it locks into the retaining
clips on either side. You will hear a click when it is properly in place. If you are using two
memory modules, repeat steps 5 to 7 for the other slot.
9. Replace and align the cover with the tabs on the right side. Press downward on the cover to
engage the tabs and around the left side to the bottom edge until it clicks into place. Installation
of the new memory module is now complete.
The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely remove from your notebook PC.
Once it is installed, you should leave it in place unless you want to increase system memory capacity.
