Memory Module

Figure 13. Memory Module Removal

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the system board, you must remove the

main battery before you service the computer.

1. Remove the keyboard bezel.

2. Remove the keyboard assembly.

3. Ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal surface of an I/O

connector on the computer’s back panel.

4. To release the memory module from its socket, carefully spread apart

the inner tabs of the memory module socket just far enough for the

memory module to disengage from the socket (it should pop up slightly)

(see Figure 13).

5. Lift the memory module out of its socket.

To replace a memory module, perform the following steps:

1. Align the memory module’s edge connector with the slot in the center of

the memory module socket.

The memory module is keyed, or designed to fit into the socket in only one

direction. The slot on the system board is notched so that the memory

module can be firmly seated only one way.

2. With the module at a 45-degree angle, press the memory module’s edge

connector firmly into the memory module socket.
