TP 600 - Installing memory

Applicable to: World-Wide

Increasing memory capacity is an effective way to make programs run faster. You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing a dual inline memory module (DIMM), available as an option.

To install the DIMM, do the following:
1.) Power off the computer; then disconnect the AC adapter and all cables from the computer.
2.) Close the LCD, turn the computer over and then remove the battery pack.
3.) Loosen the screw on the memory slot cover; then remove the cover.

4.) Install the DIMM into the memory slot.



      o Find the notch on the side of the DIMM.

      o Line up the notch on the DIMM with the notch in the memory slot and insert the DIMM at an angle of approximately 20 degrees into the socket; then press it

          firmly.





      o Pivot the DIMM until it snaps into place.

5.) Replace the memory slot cover over the memory slot, aligning the back side of the cover first; then tighten the screw.
6.) Replace the battery pack.
7. Turn the computer over again, power on the computer; then confirm that the new memory size appears at the upper left corner of the screen.
