Disabling or Restarting Digital Memory
Cards
An inserted digital memory card uses power even when the card
is not in use. Disabling the card conserves power.
To disable an inserted digital memory card, select the My
Computer icon on the Windows Desktop, right-click the drive
assigned to the card, and then select Eject. (The card is stopped
but is not released from the Digital Media Slot.)
To restart the card, remove and then reinsert it. For instructions,
see the
“Inserting Digital Memory Cards” and “Removing Digital
Memory Cards” sections, earlier in this chapter.
Increasing Memory
You can increase the amount of RAM (random access memory)
in the notebook with an approved optional memory module.
Each notebook memory slot supports one 256-MB, 512-MB,
1024-MB, or 2048-MB DDR2 SODIMM memory module.
Some notebook models are shipped with one of the two memory
slots vacant. On other models the memory slot may contain a
preinstalled memory module that can be replaced at any time.
