Laptop SO-DIMM Installation
Note: Never apply pressure or handle the memory module on or around the Integrated Circuit (IC)! Always handle memory with both hands positioned at the upper-most corners of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Ensure you are working in a static safe environment.
Disconnect the DC power adaptor from the laptop and remove the battery.
Prior to handling the SO-DIMM memory module(s), always touch an unpainted and grounded metal object or use a grounded antistatic wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
If necessary, remove pre-existing SO-DIMM modules by gently pulling the lock/ejector tabs (located on both sides of the memory socket) away from the memory module. The memory module will unlock and pop-up 30 degrees for removal.
Align the memory module key along with the memory socket key and insert the memory at a 30 degree angle.
Rotate the memory downward until the lock/ejector tabs engage and click into place.
Replace the laptop cover and reconnect in the DC power adaptor. Once you’ve secured everything, simply turn on your laptop and enjoy the increased performance.
