Installing a new memory card

NOTE:

The replacement part may look different

than the original part because of manufacturer or

model differences; however, the replacement part

meets or exceeds the specifications of the original

part.

1.

Orient the new memory card so that the notch in

the memory card aligns with the tab in the

socket.

2.

Holding the memory card by the edges, press

the card into the socket. Make sure the memory

card is pressed completely into the socket, and

then gently push down on the card until it snaps

in place.

3.

If you are replacing more than one memory

card, repeat step 2 for each memory card.

4.

Place the computer in an upright position.

5.

Install the side panel on the side of the

computer, and then slide it toward the front of

the computer.

NOTE:

Make sure the panel is flush with the

computer. Failure to do so might cause the panel

to bend slightly outward and not close securely.

6.

Tighten the screw, securing the side panel to the

back of the computer.
