❑
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage memory modules and other components. Install the memory
module only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area, and
do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example).
Ground yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while
performing the procedure.
❑
Do not open the memory module package until you are ready to install the module. The package
protects the module from ESD.
❑
Use the special bag delivered with the memory module or wrap the module in aluminium foil to protect
it from electrostatic discharge.
!
Do not place the memory module in places subject to:
- Heat sources such as radiators or air ducts,
- Direct sunlight,
- Excessive dust,
- Mechanical vibration or shock,
- Strong magnets or speakers that are not magnetically shielded,
- Ambient temperature of more than +35°C or less than +5°C,
- High humidity.
!
Introducing any liquids or any foreign substances or objects into the memory slots, or other internal components of the computer, will result in damage
to the computer and any repairs will be out of warranty.
!
Be careful when adding memory. Mistakes on installation or removal of the memory module may cause a malfunction.
* Depending on the configuration of your notebook, the available slots can vary.
