Adding or replacing memory Before working with computer components, follow these guidelines: ■ Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing foam. ■ Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection. ■ Always hold components by their edges. Avoid touching the edge connectors. Never slide components over any surface. Adding or replacing memory Your convertible tablet PC uses memory modules called SO-DIMMs (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules). The modules are available in various capacities and any module can be placed in the memory bay. Use only memory modules designed for the Gateway M275 for upgrading your memory. SO-DIMMs are located in two places inside your convertible tablet PC. Both SO-DIMMs can be upgraded. For instructions on upgrading the SO-DIMM located on the bottom of your convertible tablet PC, see "Adding or replacing memory in the memory bay" on page 256. For instructions on upgrading the SO-DIMM located under the keyboard of your convertible tablet PC, see "Replacing memory under the keyboard" on page 259. www.gateway.com 255
