Installing RAM modules
The notebook provides an optional memory expansion slot for installing up to two RAM
expansion modules. Use HP SDRAM modules only; EDO RAM is not supported.
Replace the RAM module with one of the same speed or faster: a PC133 socket can use
either a PC100 or a PC133 module, but a PC100 socket can use only a PC100 module.
Both the module and the motherboard’s socket are marked either “PC100” or “PC133”.
Your computer’s computer chips are extremely static-sensitive. Static electricity can
permanently damage computer chips. Carefully read the following caution information.
CAUTION
Handle the RAM module only by its three nonconnector edges. Otherwise, you may
damage the module due to electrostatic discharge. Static electricity can permanently
damage computer chips. It is therefore important to discharge the static electricity
from your body before touching or installing the memory module. Discharge your
body’s electricity by touching the metal shielding around the connectors on the rear
of the computer.
You’ll need a small Phillips screwdriver to complete this procedure.
1. Click the Start Button and select Shut down.
2. Unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery.
