Please take note of the safety information in the "Important notes" chapter.
The notebook must be switched off when installing/removing the memory modules, it
must not be in Suspend mode.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.
The memory modules are located in a larger service compartment. You must open the entire service
compartment when removing and installing a memory module. Once you have removed the cover,
the various components are exposed. These components should be removed and replaced only by
authorised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
!
Individual components (e.g. the processor heat sink) can become very hot during
operation. Therefore, we recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the
notebook before removing or installing the memory modules. Otherwise, there is a danger
of being burned!
As some components with ESDs are exposed, please observe the section "Notes on
installing and removing boards and components" in the chapter "Important notes".
