To remove a memory module
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

3. Wait for the computer to cool down.
The interior of the computer becomes extremely hot during operation. Wait at least one hour for the computer to
cool down before you remove the screws.
4. Turn the computer over and use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the two screws on the bottom of the
computer.
To avoid damaging the computer, do not remove or loosen any other screws.
