O que você precisa

    • Shut down your computer. Disconnect all power sources before opening the computer cover or panels.

    • Remove the battery from the computer.

    • Remove hinge cover and keyboard from the computer.

    • The computer has two memory slots, DIMM A and DIMM B. DIMM A is located on top of the computer under the keyboard, and DIMM B is located on the bottom of the computer under the memory module cover.

    • DIMM A holds the basic memory module as configured from the factory. If you did not order additional memory, DIMM B is empty. Generally, if you add memory, you use DIMM B. If you are upgrading memory, you may need to install memory in DIMM A and DIMM B, depending on the extent of the upgrade.

    • Ground yourself by touching one of the metal connectors on the back of the computer.

    • If you leave the area, ground yourself again when you return to the computer.
