36 Startup Guide

Installing Additional RAM

Your notebook has no built-in memory (RAM), but has two slots for removable RAM

modules in a compartment on the bottom of the unit. (One of these slots contains a

module installed at the factory). You can use these slots to expand your unit’s RAM. Use

HP PC133 SDRAM modules only, or your notebook will not boot up.

You’ll need a small (#0) Phillips screwdriver for these procedures.

To install a RAM expansion module

To increase your notebook’s RAM, you can install a RAM module in the expansion slot

on the bottom of the notebook. Use HP PC133 SDRAM modules only.

CAUTION

Your notebook’s chips are extremely sensitive to static electricity, and can be

permanently damaged by it. Handle the RAM module only by its edges. Before

installing the memory module, discharge your body’s static electricity by touching

the metal shielding around the connectors on the rear of the notebook.

1. Turn off the notebook: click Start, Turn Off Computer, Turn Off.

2. Important: unplug the AC adapter (if present) and remove the notebook’s battery.

3. On the bottom of the notebook, loosen the screw holding the RAM cover (the cover

retains the screw), and remove the cover.

4. Insert the RAM module into the connector at about a 30? angle until it’s fully inserted.

Then press down on both sides of the module until it latches.

5. Replace the RAM cover.
