Upgrading The System Memory; Installing A New Memory Module - ViewSonic V1250 User Manual

Upgrading the System Memory

Many applications will run faster when the system's memory capacity is
increased. The V1250 provides one expansion socket located on the back of the
system. You can increase memory by adding a Small Outline Dual In-line
Memory Module, commonly known as a SO-DIMM. Module capacity can be
256 MB or 512 MB.
Note: Your V1250 has been tested with a wide range of memory products on the
market. However, not all memory modules are compatible. Go to
www.viewsonic.com for a list of compatible V1250 modules.

Installing a New Memory Module

Upgrading the V1250 memory is a delicate process. Please observe the
following instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install memory
for you. Damages due to mishandling during this procedure are NOT covered by
the manufacturer's warranty.
Warning:
Changing memory while your computer is in Suspend Mode or in Power-saving
Mode may cause permanent damage to the V1250. Make sure you turn off the
power, unplug the AC cord, and remove the battery before proceeding with a
memory upgrade.
Do not touch a memory module's metallic contact edge to avoid possible
damage from an electrostatic discharge.
To Install a New Module
1 Power OFF the V1250. Unplug the AC cord and all cables/devices attached
to the system. Remove the battery pack. For more information, see the
section Removing the Battery Pack.
2 Place your hand on a large metal object momentarily to discharge any static
electricity.
3 Place the V1250 face-down on a soft flat surface. CAUTION: do not
scratch the LCD display screen or the lid cover.
4 Locate the memory expansion slot cover on the back of the Tablet PC shown
below. Remove the screw. Lift the memory door off the system.
Attention: Notice the notch on the extracted module. The notch's off-center
placement allows the module to fit into the socket only in one orientation. The
replacement module will be similarly notched to help you place it properly into
its slot.
