If you are asked by the Hotline/Help Desk to remove and install the memory extension yourself,
proceed as follows:
!
Please note the information provided in the "Safety notes" section in the "Important
notes" chapter.
The notebook must be switched off when installing/removing the memory modules, it
must not be in Suspend mode.
Only use memory extensions of the manufacturer which have been approved for your
notebook: DDR2-400 SO DIMM (PC2-3200) 256 or 512 Mbyte modules or DDR2-533 SO
DIMM (PC2-4300) 256, 512 Mbyte modules or 1 Gbyte modules.
Never use force when installing or removing memory modules.
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.
The memory modules are located in a larger service compartment. You must open the entire
service compartment when removing and installing a memory module. Once you have removed the
cover, the various components are exposed. These components should be removed and replaced
only by authorised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
!
Individual components (e.g. the processor heat sink) can become very hot during
operation. Therefore, we recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the
notebook before removing or installing the memory modules. Otherwise, there is a danger
of being burned!
As some components with ESDs are exposed, please observe the section "Notes on
installing and removing boards and components" in the chapter "Removing and installing
components during servicing".
