Installing a memory module

Additional memory modules can be installed in the memory
module slots on the base of the computer. You will need a
standard Phillips no.1 screwdriver for this procedure.
The computer has two memory module slots — Slot A and
Slot B. You can install one or two memory modules.
If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step
3.
1 If the computer is on, click Start, Turn off computer.
The Turn off computer window appears.
2 Click Turn Off.
The operating system turns off the computer.
3 Unplug and remove any cables connected to the
computer, including the AC Adapter.
4 Remove the battery. For information on removing the
battery, see
To avoid damaging the computer's screws, use a standard
Phillips no. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.
Installing a memory module with the computer's power on may
damage the computer, the module, or both.
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 Standby or
Hibernation mode, data will be lost.
