Points to note about memory modules

If you install a memory module that is not compatible with the computer, the
power LED will flashes (on for 0.5 seconds, off for 0.5 seconds) in the
following ways;

If there is only an error in Slot A: repeatedly flashes orange twice, then
green.

If there is only an error in Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange, then green
twice.

If there is an error in Slot A and in Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange
twice, then green twice.

In all instances you should shut down the computer and remove the
incompatible module(s).

procedures are the same for installing either module.
