Point to note about memory module error
If you install a memory module that is not compatible with the computer, the
Power indicator will flashes (on for 0.5 seconds, off for 0.5 seconds) in the
following ways;
■
If there is an error in only Slot A or no memory module is inserted in Slot
A: repeatedly flashes orange twice, then green.
■
If there is an error in Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange, then green
twice.
■
If there are errors in both Slot A and Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange
twice, then green twice.
In all instances you should shut down the computer and remove the
incompatible module(s).
Installing a memory module
The computer contains slots for two memory modules, one positioned
immediately over the other - the procedures are the same for installing
either module.
1. Set the computer to Boot Mode and turn its power off - make sure the
Power indicator is off (refer to the
section in
Chapter 3,
, if required).
2. Remove the AC adaptor and all cables and peripherals connected to
the computer.
3. Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery pack (refer to
section in Chapter 6,
, if required).
4. Loosen the two screws securing the memory module cover in place -
please note that this screw is attached to the cover in order to prevent it
from being lost.
5. Slide your fingernail or a thin object under the cover and lift it off.
Removing the memory module cover
Use a #0 point Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws -
the use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
