Getting Started
Adding memory (optional)
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate
ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned
on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your
computer is in Sleep mode). In this condition, observe the following:
❖ Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.
❖ Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source,
such as an electric blanket or heater.
❖ Never cover or block the air vents including those located on the
back of the computer.
❖ Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface.
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system
failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting
in serious injury.
5 Reconnect the cables.
6 Restart the computer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You must have at least one memory module
installed for the computer to work.
Checking total memory
When you add or remove a memory module, you can check that the
computer has recognized the change. To do this:
Press the ( ) +
X keys, and then click System.
The System window appears. Installed memory (RAM) is
displayed below the System heading.
If the computer does not recognize the memory configuration, turn
off the computer and remove the memory module slot cover
(complete steps 5-8 in “Installing a memory module” on page 32),
and then check that the module is inserted completely into the
socket and lined up squarely with the socket latches.
From time to time, Windows
®
will display a pop-up that says, “Do
you want to allow the following application to make changes to this
computer?” This is a security feature to prevent applications or
people from doing things on your computer without your
permission. If you were trying to perform the action, click Continue;
otherwise, click Cancel. If unsure, cancel and try again.
