Memory
There are two DIMM slots in your Tablet PC. 1 GB and 2 GB modules are available, so you can install a
combination of up to 4 GB in the system
.
Installing a Memory Module
To install a DIMM module in the Tablet PC
1
Ensure that the Tablet PC is off. To do so, carry out the Shut Down command in the Start menu. (Do not attempt
to remove or install a DIMM module when the system is in Sleep mode or running.)
2
Remove the two screws from the cover plate on the back of the Tablet PC and remove the cover plate as shown
in Figure 17.
3
Insert the DIMM module in the socket at an angle and push it down until it locks into place as shown in Figure
18. Note that the DIMM module is keyed to prevent it from being inserted backwards.
4
Reinstall the cover and screws that you removed in step 2.
5
Confirm that the DIMM module is recognized by the system. To do so, run BIOS Setup. The size of the DIMM
module should be displayed in the Info menu in BIOS Setup.
The DIMM module is installed in the Tablet PC and you can now use the system.
