Adding or replacing memory Your notebook 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 slot. Use only memory modules designed for your Gateway notebook for upgrading your memory. To add or replace memory modules: 1 Follow the instructions under "Preventing static electricity discharge" on page 66. 2 Turn off your notebook, disconnect the AC adapter and modem and network cables. 3 Turn your notebook over so the bottom is facing up. 4 Remove the battery. For more information, see "Changing batteries" on page 59. 5 Remove the memory bay cover screw, then remove the memory bay cover. For the location of the memory bay, see "Bottom" on page 15. 6 If you are removing a module, gently press outward on the clip at each end of the memory module until the module tilts upward. 68 www.gateway.com
