Inserting the memory module

8. Seat the cover and secure it with one screw.
9. When you turn the computer on, it should automatically recognize the

total memory capacity. Use the HW Setup program to verify that the

added memory is recognized. If it is not recognized, check the module’s

connection.

Removing memory module

To remove the memory module, make sure the computer is in boot mode

then:
1. Turn the computer off and remove all cables connected to the

computer.

2. Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery pack

(refer to Chapter 6,

Power and Power-Up Modes

.)

3. Remove one screw securing the memory module cover.
4. Lift off the cover.
5. Use a slender object such as a pen to press two latches on either side

of the memory module to the outside. The memory module will pop up.

6. Grasp the memory module by the sides and pull it out.

If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules will

become hot. In this case, let the memory modules cool to room

temperature before you replace them.

Do not try to remove a memory module with the computer turned on or

turned off in Standby and Hibernation mode. You can damage the

computer and the memory module.

Do not touch the connectors on the memory module or on the computer.

Debris on the connectors may cause memory access problems.
