4. Align the two connectors on the memory module with the corresponding connectors on the system board.

! Caution:

The two connectors on the memory module are similar in

appearance but do not have the same number of connector pins. Be sure that you match each connector to its corresponding system board connector. Incorrect insertion could result in damage to the memory module or system board.

5. Insert the memory module by pressing it downward, applying pressure directly over each connector. Ensure that both connectors snap into place.

! Caution:

Do not apply pressure to the middle of the memory

module or you may damage it. Press only in the area directly over each connector.

6. Replace the memory access cover.

7. Insert the battery pack, connect the power cord if desired, and turn on the computer to complete the installation. The computer automatically recognizes the new memory and reconfigures the system.
