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

circuits locating close to the memory modules will become hot. In this

case, let them cool to room temperature before you replace them. Or

you will get burnt if you touch any of them.

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

computer. Debris on the connectors may cause memory access

problems.
