Setup Instructions

This process takes several minutes, and your computer may restart multiple times.

Installing Optional memory

You can increase the amount of memory in your computer.

Note: Only use memory types supported by your computer. If you incorrectly install the optional memory or install an unsupported memory type, a warning beep will sound when you try to start the computer. To replace the standard memory that is accessed by removing your keyboard, refer to the procedure described within Access IBM.

1Install the optional SO-DIMM:

3Disconnect the ac adapter and all cables from the computer.

4 Close the computer display and turn the computer over.

5 Remove the battery.

6 Loosen the screws on the memory slot cover, and then remove the cover.

9 Replace the memory slot cover.

Attention: Never use the computer with the memory slot cover open.

10 Replace the battery and re-connect the AC adapter and cables.

7If a SO-DIMM is already installed, remove it as shown. Save the SO-DIMM for future use.

2Verify proper installation of the optional SO-DIMM: 1 Turn on computer.

2 Press the Access IBM button when prompted during startup.

3 Double-click the "Start setup utility" icon to open the IBM BIOS Setup Utility.

4 Verify that the "Installed memory" item shows the total amount of memory installed in your computer. For example, if your computer had 256 MB of standard memory and you install an additional 512 MB SO-DIMM, the quantity shown in "Installed memory" should be 768 MB.
