Adding or replacing memory

Before working with computer components, follow these guidelines:
■ Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing
foam.
■ Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready
to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags
because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection.
■ Always hold components by their edges. Avoid touching the edge
connectors. Never slide components over any surface.
Adding or replacing memory
Your notebook uses memory modules called SO-DIMMs (Small Outline Dual
Inline Memory Modules). The modules are available in various capacities and
any module can be placed in any available slot. Use only memory modules
designed for the Gateway 450ROG or Gateway 450RGH for upgrading your
memory.
To add or replace memory modules:
1 Follow the instructions under “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 234.
2 Turn off your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter and modem and
network cables.
