you have an Apple-certified technician install them. Consult the service
and support information that came with your computer for instructions
on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for
service. If you install these items yourself, you risk damaging your
equipment, and this damage is not covered by the limited warranty on
your computer. See an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider for
