3.2: Fitting Hardware Options - Memory
Fitting a DIMM
These instructions refer to fitting a DIMM.
N.B. The retention mechanism on the sockets may vary from those
illustrated.
1. Remove the cover (see page 29).
2. Hold the DIMM at a 90° angle to the empty socket with the notches on
the DIMM aligned with the notches on the empty socket.
Note: The DIMM has a polarising notch slightly off centre so that it cannot
be fitted incorrectly.
3. Keeping the DIMM at this angle, slide it between the slots at each end of
the DIMM socket. Press the DIMM firmly into the socket, the retaining
clips will ‘click’ into place , securing the DIMM at each end of the socket.
Make sure that both of these clips are in the vertical position.
4. Replace the cover of the notebook and reconnect your system as shown on
the Quick Start Guide.
5. When you switch on your notebook, the system automatically detects the
extra memory and updates the CMOS memory.
Removing a DIMM
1. Remove the cover.
2. Using your fingers, push the plastic retaining clips down and away from
the DIMM to release it from the socket. The released DIMM can then be
lifted up and out of the slots at either end of the DIMM socket. Take care
not to damage the socket when removing the DIMM.
3. Replace the cover of the notebook and reconnect your system as shown on
the Quick Start Guide.
4. When you switch on your notebook, the system automatically detects the
removal of the memory and updates the CMOS memory.
