To install a memory module, make sure the computer is in boot mode then:
1. Turn the computer off in boot mode. Refer to the Turning off the power sec-
tion in Chapter 3.
CAUTIONS: 1. If you use the computer for a long time, the memory
modules will become hot. In this case, let the memory
modules cool to room temperature before you replace
them.
2. Do not try to install a memory module with the com-
puter turned on or turned off in Standby and Hiberna-

with the computer, a beep will sound when you turn on
the power. If the module is installed in slot A, there will
be a long beep followed by a short beep. If the module is
in slot B, there will be a long beep followed by two short
beeps. In this case shut down the power and remove the
incompatible module.
