conditions. You can damage the computer and the module. Also, data
will be lost.

Some memory modules can be physically installed but are not
compatible with the computer. In this case the computer will issue a

■
Expansion memory is a precision electronic component that may be
fatally damaged by static electricity. Since human body has slight static
electricity, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body before
installing an expansion memory module. To discharge your body's
static electricity, simply touch any metal close to you with bare hands.
Use a point size 0 Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws.
Use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
