Fitting a DIMM
These instructions refer to fitting a DIMM.
N.B. The retention mechanism on the sockets may vary from those
illustrated.
1. Remove the cover (see page 29).
2. Hold the DIMM at a 90° angle to the empty socket with the
notches on the DIMM aligned with the notches on the empty
socket.
Note: The DIMM has a polarising notch slightly off centre so that it
cannot be fitted incorrectly.
3. Keeping the DIMM at this angle, slide it between the slots at
each end of the DIMM socket. Press the DIMM firmly into the
socket, the retaining clips will ‘click’ into place , securing the
DIMM at each end of the socket. Make sure that both of these
clips are in the vertical position.
4. Replace the cover of the notebook and reconnect your system
as shown on the Quick Start Guide.
5. When you switch on your notebook, the system automatically
detects the extra memory and updates the CMOS memory.
Removing a DIMM
1. Remove the cover.
2. Using your fingers, push the plastic retaining clips down and
away from the DIMM to release it from the socket. The released
DIMM can then be lifted up and out of the slots at either end of
the DIMM socket. Take care not to damage the socket when
removing the DIMM.
3. Replace the cover of the notebook and reconnect your system
as shown on the Quick Start Guide.
4. When you switch on your notebook, the system automatically
detects the removal of the memory and updates the CMOS
memory.
