56 Getting Started Adding memory Installing a memory module Your computer is equipped with two memory slots which can provide for various memory configurations. Additional memory modules can be installed in the memory expansion slots on the base of the computer. You will need a standard Phillips No.1 screwdriver for this procedure. If you use the computer for a long time, the memory module will become hot. If this happens, let the module cool to room temperature before you replace it. To avoid damaging the computer's screws, use a standard Phillips No. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition. Installing a memory module with the computer's power on may damage the computer, the module, or both. Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the computer using the Start menu. If you install or remove a memory module while the computer is in Standby or Hibernation mode, data will be lost. If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step 3. 1 If the computer is on, click Start, Turn Off Computer. The Turn off computer window appears. 2 Click Turn Off.
