Adding a Memory Module
Your computer comes complete with 64 MB of main memory. This is plenty of
memory for most applications. However, if you want to enjoy the increased
performance that extra memory can bring, you can easily add a memory module to
your system using the spare memory compartment in the base of your computer.
The memory compartment can be installed with an industry-standard SODIMM
(Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module). You can install a memory module
with 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB or even 128 MB in the memory compartment. Follow
the steps below.
1. Turn off your computer, disconnect the AC adapter, and close the upper cover.
2. Turn your computer over and locate the memory compartment cover and the two
screws that secure the cover in place.

3. Use a small, phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws. Lift the cover
from the memory compartment using the indent on one side of the compartment
cover.
4. Hold the memory module over the memory compartment. The edge connector
on the module is divided into two unequal parts and the edge connector slot
inside the memory compartment is also divided into two unequal parts. Position
the module so that the edge connector on the module matches the edge
connector slot in the compartment.
5. Hold the module at a slight angle to the base of the unit and insert the edge
connector into the edge connector slot.
