Upgrading your System
Upgrading your Memory
Refer to the following instructions and illustration for information on
upgrading your notebook's memory.
¾ ¾ Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter and all
peripherals.
¾ ¾ Turn the notebook over so that the rear ports are facing you and
locate the memory module compartment.
¾ ¾ Remove the screws that secure the RAM module compartment
cover and set it aside in a safe place.
¾ ¾ If you need to install a higher capacity module, gently push the
edge clips on both sides to release the module. Angle the card
slightly upward and gently slide it from its edge connector slot.
Store the card in the anti-static bag that contains your new
module(s).
¾ ¾ To install the new memory card, hold the card with its gold edge
connector toward the edge connector slot of the compartment. To
help you orient the cards, the edge connector has been made with
two unequal-length sections. You will only be able to insert the
card in one direction.
¾ ¾ Insert the edge connector into the slot. The gold edge connector
of the card should not be visible when the card is fully inserted.
¾ ¾ Press the card downward where you should hear an audible click
as the latches of the connector secure the card in place.
¾ ¾ Once the module is properly seated, you can replace the cover on
this compartment.
