Appendix A. CRU instructions Replacing the memory You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing double data rate three synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3 SDRAM)-available as an option-in the memory slot of your computer. DDR3 SDRAM modules are available in various capacities. Note: • Use only the memory types supported by your computer. If you incorrectly install optional memory, or install an unsupported memory type, a warning beep will sound when you try to start the computer. • Make sure the computer is turned off and all the cables disconnected from the computer before you replace the memory. • Make sure the computer display is closed to avoid being damaged. To install a DDR3 SDRAM module, do the following: 1 Touch a metal table or a grounded metal object to reduce any static electricity in your body, which could damage the DDR3 SDRAM. Do not touch the contact edge of the DDR3 SDRAM module. 2 Remove the battery pack.
