Installing Memory

To install a memory module:

1

Turn your iMac G5 off by choosing Apple () > Shut Down.

2

Disconnect all cables and the power cord from your iMac G5.

3

Place a soft, clean towel or cloth on the desk or surface. Hold the sides of your iMac G5
and slowly lay it down so that the screen is flat against the surface and the bottom is
facing you.

4

Raise the stand and use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws
holding the memory access door in place by turning them counter-clockwise.

5

Remove the memory access door.

Warning:

Always shut down your iMac G5 before installing memory. Do not attempt

to install memory in the computer while it is plugged in.

Warning:

The ambient light sensor is located between the two screws, as shown in

the illustration. Don’t mistake the ambient light sensor for a screw. Sticking a screw
driver or other sharp object in the ambient light sensor could damage your computer.
