2.3.4 Installing DRAM (SODIMM)

You can install anywhere from 16 MB to 128 MB of on-board DRAM
memory using 16, 32, 64 or 128 MB 144-pin SODIMM (Small Outline Dual
In-line Memory Modules).
The procedure for installing SODIMM appears below. Please follow these
steps carefully.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off.
2. Slip the SODIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and carefully fit
the bottom of the card against the connectors.
3. Gently push the SODIMM into a perpendicular position until the clips on
the ends of the SODIMM sockets snap into place.
4. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all connector
contacts touch. The SODIMM should not move around in its socket.
Note: The modules can only fit into a socket one way and their
gold pins must point down into the SODIMM socket.
