Upgrading the Memory

Upgrading the System Memory

Many applications will run faster when the system's memory capacity is
increased. The V1100 provides one expansion socket located on the back of the
system. The system motherboard is already pre-installed with 256 MB of
memory. You can increase memory by adding a Small Outline Dual In-line
Memory Module, commonly known as a SODIMM. Module capacity can be
16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB.
Note: Your V1100 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 V1100 modules.

Installing a New Memory Module

Upgrading the V1100 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 V1100. 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 V1100. 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 V1100 face-down on a soft flat surface. CAUTION: do not scratch
the LCD display screen.
