You can increase the amount of memory in your computer.

If you incorrectly install the optional memory or install an unsupported memory type, a warning beep will sound when you try to start the computer. To replace the standard memory that is accessed by removing your keyboard, refer to the procedure described within Access IBM.

Install the optional SO-DIMM:

Touch a grounded metal object to reduce any static electricity in your body that could damage the SO-DIMM. Avoid touching the contact edge of the SO-DIMM.

2 Turn off the computer.

Disconnect the ac adapter and all cables from the

computer.

Close the computer display and turn the computer

over.

5 Remove the battery.

6 Loosen the screws on the memory slot cover, and

then remove the cover.

If a SO-DIMM is already installed, remove it as shown. Save the SO-DIMM for future use.

Align the notch in the contact edge of the SO-DIMM

with the divider in the socket. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the socket at an angle of 20 degrees

1 , and then pivot it downward until it snaps into

place 2 .

9 Replace the memory slot cover.

Attention: Never use the computer with the

memory slot cover open.

Replace the battery and re-connect the ac adapter and cables.
