How do I install additional memory?

Follow the procedure below to install additional memory.

 

  1. Turn off the machine's power switch.

  2. Unplug first the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack, and then unplug the power cord from the AC power outlet.

     

    Make sure you turn the machine OFF and unplug the machine before you install or remove the SO-DIMM. Installing optional accessories without unplugging the machine could result in electric shock hazard.

  3. Unscrew the screw holding the side cover, and then slide the side cover to remove it.

  4. Unscrew the screw holding the metal shield plate, and then remove the metal shield plate.

  5. Unpack the SO-DIMM and hold it by the edges.

     

    SO-DIMM boards can be damaged by even a small amount of static electricity. Do not touch the memory chips or the board surface. Wear an antistatic wrist strap when you install or remove the board. If you do not have an antistatic wrist strap, keep touching the bare metal on the machine.

  6. Hold the SO-DIMM with your fingers on the side edges and your thumb on the back edge. Align the notch on the SO-DIMM with the protrusions with the SO-DIMM slot. (Check that the locks on each side of the DIMM slot are open or facing outwards.)

  7. Press the SO-DIMM straight into the slot (press firmly). Make sure the locks on each side of the SO-DIMM click into place.

     

    To remove the SO-DIMM, open the retaining clips on both sides of the SO-DIMM by pushing them outward, grasp both edges of the SO-DIMM and pull it out straight.

  8. Secure the metal plate with the screw.

  9. Put the side cover back on by sliding it into the guide rails, and then secure it with the screw.

  10. Reconnect the interface cable (machine cable) to your computer. Then, plug the machine's power cord back into the AC power outlet first, and then plug in the telephone line cord. Turn on the machine's power switch.

     

    To check that you have installed the SO-DIMM properly, you can print the User Settings listing that shows the current memory size.
