Getting Started 37 Adding memory (optional) 4 Replace the memory module slot cover and secure it using the screw. Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your computer is in Sleep mode). In this condition, observe the following: ❖ Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object. ❖ Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as an electric blanket or heater. ❖ Never cover or block the air vents including those located on the back of the computer. ❖ Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious injury. 5 Reconnect the cables. 6 Restart the computer. TECHNICAL NOTE: You must have at least one memory module installed for the computer to work. Checking total memory When you add or remove a memory module, you can check that the computer has recognized the change. To do this: ❖ Click Start, Control Panel, System and Security, and then System. The System window appears. Installed memory (RAM) is displayed below the System heading. If the computer does not recognize the memory configuration, turn off the computer and remove the memory module slot cover (complete steps 1-6 in "Installing a memory module" on page 30), and then check that the module is inserted completely into the socket and lined up squarely with the socket latches.
