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 Standby 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 Turn off computer or Shut Down 
(depending on the system).

The Turn off computer or Shut Down window appears.

Click Turn Off or Shut Down.

The operating system turns off the computer. 

Unplug and remove any cables connected to the computer, 
including the AC adaptor.

Remove the main battery. For information on removing the 
main battery, see “Removing the battery from the computer” 
on page 40.
