■ chapter 4 upgrading your computer
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, located underneath the System Device
Cover. 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 128MB,
256MB, 512MB or higher in capacity. Depending on the model,
your computer may use DDR I SDRAM (2.5V) type or DDR II
SDRAM (1.8V) type.
Before the upgrade: In order to find out what type of DDR module
the system uses, you need to reboot the system. The initial boot
message shows you what type of DDR SDRAM module your
notebook uses.
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.
