Upgrading the System Memory
Many applications will generally run faster when the computer’s dynamic memory capacity is increased. The
computer provides two DDR2 memory sockets. There is one located underneath the System Device Cover and
another one located underneath the keyboard. You can increase the amount of memory by replacing the existing
one with a dual inline memory module (commonly known as SO-DIMM) of a higher capacity. The SO-DIMM can be
256MB, 512MB, or 1024MB in capacity. The SO-DIMM is of type DDR2 SDRAM, has 200 pins and runs on 1.8V.
Warning
: Memory upgrade is a delicate process. Please observe the following instructions carefully or have
a qualified technician install it for you. Damages due to mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by
the manufacture’s warranty.
Warning
: Changing memory while your computer is in suspend or power-saving mode may cause
permanent damage to the hardware. Make sure you turn off the power and unplug the AC cord before
proceeding with a memory upgrade.
Warning
: You should only use the DIMM module that is approved by the reseller or the manufacturer;
otherwise the system may become unstable.
Installing a memory module (DIMM) into the system
To install the DIMM under the System Device Cover, do the following:
1. Power OFF the notebook. Unplug the AC cord and all cables/devices attached to the notebook. Remove the
battery.
2. Place your hand on a large metal object momentarily to discharge any static electricity. Place the notebook on a
flat surface and fully close the LCD lid.
3. Locate and remove 9 Screw A’s on the System Device Cover.
4. Remove the System Device Cover. The DIMM socket is now seen as shown below.
