Installation Instructions For 144 & 200 pin SODIMM's
These instructions provide general installation and handling information for 144-pin & 200pin SODIMM memory. These instructions are intended to be used in conjunction with your model-specific owner's 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
NOTE : Before touching any electronic
components, make sure you are properly grounded. By
wearing a wrist strap (or using some other type of static
control device), you can prevent static electricity
stored on your body or clothing from damaging your installation.
- Always turn off your computer and remove the rechargeable battery
pack before installing your memory.
- Insert the module into the socket at a slight angle (approximately
30 degrees). Note that the socket and module are both keyed,
which means the module can be installed one way only.
- To seat the module into the socket, apply firm, even pressure
to each end of the module (see the arrows) until you feel it
slip down into the socket. If you are having problems getting
the module to seat properly, try rocking the module up and down
slightly, while continuing to apply pressure. ? When properly
seated, the contact fingers on the edge of the module will almost
completely disappear inside the socket.
- With the module properly seated in the socket, rotate the module
downward, as indicated in the illustration. Continue pressing
downward until the clips at each end of the socket lock into
position. With most sockets, you will hear a distinctive CLICK,
indicating the module is correctly locked into position.
- Once the module or modules have been installed, the computer cover
can be reinstalled.
- Reinstall the rechargeable battery pack and any cables disconnected
during the installation process.
- Turn on the computer and follow the instructions in your computer owner manual that descri be the steps necessary to allow your computer to recognize the newly installed memory.
