computer, refer to Worldwide Telephone Numbers for the nearest
Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

IMPORTANT:

DRAM) memory expansion boards. If you install a different type
of memory expansion board, you will receive the following
message when you restart the computer:

This unit only supports SDRAM.
If you receive this message, turn the computer off and remove the
memory expansion board.

1. Shut down and turn off computer.

2. Turn the computer bottom side up.

3. Remove the memory compartment cover.

4. Insert the memory expansion board into the empty memory

expansion slot at a 45-degree angle

1. Then slide it gently

into place until it is seated while tilted.

NOTE:

A memory expansion board is asymmetrically keyed

(notched) to ensure correct positioning.
