Installing additional memory (optional)

Your computer comes with enough memory to run most of

today's popular applications. You may want to increase the

computer's memory if you use complex software or process

large amounts of data.

Additional memory comes in 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB

modules. There are two memory slots. Your system may have

both slots occupied.

You need a standard Phillips no. 1 screwdriver to install a

memory module.

If the computer is on, begin at step 1, otherwise, skip to step

Shut down your computer completely using the Shut

down or Turn Off command.

Unplug the computer and remove any cables you may

have connected.

Turn the computer upside down.

Locate and remove the screw that holds the cover plate in

place, and lift the cover off the memory module bay.

Setting up your computer and getting started

Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the computer

using the Start menu. If you install or remove a memory module

while the computer is in Stand By or Hibernation mode, data will be

lost.

If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules will

become hot. If this happens, let the modules cool to room

temperature before you replace them.

To avoid damaging the computer's screws, use a standard Phillips

no. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.

Do not install or remove a memory module while the DVD-ROM

drive power is on.

Installing a memory module with the computer's power on may

damage the computer, the module, or both.
