Upgrading Your Sahara Slate PC
6.
To insert a new RAM module,

with the RAM module socket
and slide the module into the

in the socket, press the RAM
module down until it clicks into
place.
7.
Replace the cover on this
compartment and then
replace and tighten the
screws.
NOTE: Your Sahara Slate PC supports
dual channel RAM. In order to take
advantage of this higher bandwidth
feature, you’ll need to install a memory
module that matches the primary module installed on the other
side of the motherboard at the factory. Check with your dealer if
you are unsure what module is currently installed in your system.
Upgrading the Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
The computer’s HDD is the storage facility that holds all the files
on your computer. If you find you are running out of space, you
might consider upgrading to a larger drive.
Typically, when a computer’s HDD fills up, its access time begins
to increase and your system seems to slow down. When this
occurs, upgrading to a larger drive often will equate to better
performance.
Your Sahara Slate PC comes pre-configured with a HDD that is
easy to upgrade. Before installing a new hard drive, however, be
sure to back up all of the files on your existing drive.
