The installation and removal of memory modules in one of the two slots
should only be carried out by an authorised techn ician.
The notebook will not start without memo ry modules, as no fixed main memory is installed.
If you are asked by the Hotline/Help Desk to remove and install the memory
modules yourself, proceed a s follows:
Pay attention to the relevant safety notes provided 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 approved memory expansion modules in your notebook
(see Section "
Technical data", Page 33).
Never use force when installing o r removing memory modules.
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory expansion compartment.
Individual components (e.g. the processor heat sink) can become very hot
during operation. Therefore, we recommend that you wait one hour a fter
switching off the notebook before removing or installing the memory modules.
Otherwise, there is a risk of suffering burns!
As some non-ESD safe compo nents are exposed, please observe the section "
Note s
on insta lling and removing boards and components", Page 27.
