Memory modules can be installed in the memory module slots on 
the base of the computer. You will need a small Phillips screwdriver 
for this procedure.

If the computer has been running recently, the memory module may 
be hot. The surrounding area may also be hot. Allow the module to 
cool to room temperature before replacing it. Avoid touching the 
cover, the module, and the surrounding area before they have cooled. 
Failure to follow these directions could result in minor bodily injury.

To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a small Phillips 
screwdriver that is in good condition. 

Installing a memory module with the computer’s power on may 
damage the computer, the module, or both.

The computer has two memory slots—Slot A and Slot B. You can 
install one or two memory modules. 

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 Sleep or Hibernation mode, data will be lost.

For this model Slot A is the bottom slot. Slot B is the top slot. If only 
one memory module is to be installed, it must be installed in slot A. 

If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step 3. 

Click Start, and then click the arrow next to the lock button in 
the lower-right corner of the Start menu.

The Shut Down menu appears.
