Replacing the DIMM A Memory Module

NOTICE:

To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist

grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface (such as a
connector on the back of the computer).

1 Align the notch in the module edge connector with the tab in the

connector slot.

2 Slide the module firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and rotate the

module down until it clicks into place. If you do not feel the click, remove
the module and reinstall it.

NOTE:

If the memory module is not installed properly, the computer may not boot.

No error message indicates this failure.

3 Replace the memory module cover.
4 Replace the keyboard and hinge cover.
5 Insert the battery into the battery bay, or connect the AC adapter to your

computer and an electrical outlet.

6 Turn on the computer.

As the computer boots, it detects the additional memory and automatically
updates the system configuration information.
