Optima kn-1 User Manual

Your notebook PC comes with either 128MB or 256MB of high speed Synchronous Dynamic
RAM (SDRAM) factory installed. To increase your notebook's memory capacity (up to 2GB
maximum), you may install an additional memory upgrade module. The memory upgrade must be
a dual-in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module.

Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade module compartment except for the ones
specifically shown in the directions here.

To install a memory upgrade module follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to your notebook PC using the power switch, disconnect the power adapter,

and/or remove the battery pack.

2. Place your notebook PC upside-down on a clean work surface.
3. Open the top cover all the way, so that it is lying flat on the work surface.
4. Remove the screw holding the memory compartment cover.

The memory upgrade module can be severely damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Be sure
you are properly grounded when handling and installing the module.

5. Align the connector edge of the memory upgrade module, chip side up, with the connector slot

in the compartment.

6. Insert the memory upgrade module at a 45¢X angle and press it firmly onto the connector.
7. Press the memory upgrade module down into the compartment until it locks into the retaining

clips on either side. You will hear a click when it is properly in place.

8. Replace the cover and screw that were removed previously. Installation of the new memory

module is now complete.

The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely remove from your notebook PC.
Once it is installed, you should leave it in place unless you want to increase system memory
capacity.
