Note CAUTION Configuring and Expanding Your Computer Installing Additional RAM For Windows 98, if you increase your computer's memory to more than 512 MB, the computer will not be able to hibernate unless you also increase the size of the Utility partition on the hard disk-see "To recover the factory installation of your hard disk" on page 164. You can also replace the system RAM module beneath the keyboard-see "To replace the system RAM module" on page 93.

Your computer's chips are extremely sensitive to static electricity, and can be permanently damaged by it. Handle the RAM module only by its edges.

Pull the module out of the connector. 6. Replace the cover. 7. Insert the battery. To replace the system RAM module If needed, you can replace your computer's system RAM module (under the keyboard) to increase the computer's RAM. Corporate Evaluator's Guide 93
