Upgrading the System Memory

Many applications will generally run faster when the computer’s

dynamic memory capacity is increased. The computer provides two

DDR memory sockets. There is one located underneath the System

Device Cover and another one located underneath the keyboard.

You can increase the amount of memory by replacing the existing

one with a dual inline memory module (commonly known as

SO-DIMM) of a higher capacity. The SO-DIMM can be 256MB, or

512MB in capacity. The SO-DIMM is of type DDR1 SDRAM, has

200 pins and runs on 2.5V.

Warning:

Memory upgrade is a delicate process. Please observe the following

instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install it for you. Damages due to

mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacture’s warranty.

Warning:

Changing memory while your computer is in suspend or power-saving

mode may cause permanent damage to the hardware. Make sure you turn off the

power and unplug the AC cord before proceeding with a memory upgrade.

Warning:

You should only use the DIMM module that is approved by the reseller

or the manufacturer; otherwise the system may become unstable.
