Optional Devices If you install a memory module that is not compatible with the computer, a beep will sound when you turn on the power. If the incompatible module is installed in slot A, there will be a long beep (1 second) followed by one short beep (0.5 seconds), while if the incompatible module is in slot B, there will be a long beep followed by two short beeps. In the event both modules are incompatible, there will be a long beep followed by one short beep, a pause, and then a long beep followed by two short beeps. In all instances you should shut down the computer and remove the incompatible module(s). Use a #0 point Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws. Use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads. Installing memory module There are slots for two memory modules, one over the other. The procedures are the same for installing either module. 1. Set the computer to boot mode and turn the computer's power off. Make sure the Power indicator is off. Refer to the Turning off the power section in Chapter 3, Getting Started. 2. Remove AC adaptor and all cables connected to the computer. 3. Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery pack. Refer to Replacing the battery pack section in Chapter 6, Power, for details. 4. Loosen the screw securing the memory module cover. The screw is attached to the cover to prevent it from being lost. 5. Slide your fingernail or a thin object under the cover and lift it off.
