Removing a SDRAM Module
(User-Replaceable)
The notebook has no system memory built into its motherboard, but has two slots for SDRAM
modules. One slot contains an SDRAM module that was factory installed.
Note
Omnibook XE4100 models use only PC133 SDRAM modules, and Omnibook XE4500 models use
only DDR266 SDRAM modules. Using the wrong type of module prevents the notebook from
booting.
Caution
Handle the SDRAM module only by its edges and provide proper grounding, or you might damage
the module through electrostatic discharge.
Required Equipment
•
Small Phillips screwdriver.
Removal Procedure
1.
Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and then remove the battery.
2.
On the bottom of the notebook, loosen the captive screws holding the SDRAM door, and then
remove the door.
3.
Press outward on the latches at the sides of the SDRAM module to release it (the SDRAM module
pops up).
4.
Carefully pull the SDRAM module out of the connector.
