Removing a SDRAM Module 
(User-Replaceable) 
The notebook has no system memory built into its motherboard, but has two slots for SDRAM 
modules. One slot contains an SDRAM module that was factory installed. 
 
Note 
HP Pavilion ze5300, ze5200, ze4300, ze4200, and ze4100, HP nx9010, nx9005 and nx9000, 
Compaq Evo Notebook N1050v and N1010v, and Presario 2500, 2100, and 1100 notebooks use 
only DDR266 SDRAM modules. Using the wrong type of module prevents the notebook from 
booting.

the module through electrostatic discharge.
