How to install Memory Module 184 pin DDRRAM.
instructions provide general installation and handling information for 184-pin DDR upgrade memory. These instructions are intended to be used in conjunction with your model-specific owner manual.
CAUTION: This product
contains components that are easily damaged
by ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). To reduce
the chance of ESD damage, work over a noncarpeted
floor, use a static dissipative work surface
(like a conductive foam pad), and wear an
ESD wrist strap that is connected to a grounded
surface, like the metal frame of a computer.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
- Place the computer power switch in the "off " position and
disconnect the AC power cord.
- Remove the computer top cover following the instructions
in the model-specific owner manual.
- Before touching any electronic components, make sure you first
touch an unpainted, grounded metal object to discharge any static
electricity stored on your clothing or body.
- Locate the memory expansion sockets on the computer motherboard.
If all the sockets are full, remove smaller capacity modules
to allow room for higher capacity modules.
- The ejector tabs shown in the illustration are used to remove
a module. By pushing outward on the ejector tabs, the module
will pop-up from the socket and it can then be removed.
- Handle your new module carefully; do not flex or bend the module.
Always grasp the module by its edges.
- For most installations, DDR modules can be installed in any
available expansion slot. Other installations may require the
memory to be installed in a particular sequence based on the
modules capacity. Check your owner manual to determine the correct
installation sequence for your configuration.
- Insert the module into an available expansion socket. Note how the module is keyed to the socket. This ensures the module can be plugged into the socket one way only. Firmly press the module into position, making certain the module is completely seated in the socket. The ejector tabs at each end of the socket will automatically snap into the locked position. Repeat this procedure for any additional modules you are installing.
- Once the module or modules have been installed, the computer
top cover can be reinstalled.
- Plug in the AC power cord and reinstall any cables disconnected
during the installation process.
- Turn on the computer and follow the instructions in your computer owner manual that describe the steps necessary to allow your computer to recognize the newly installed memory.
