You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing a PC133 dual inline memory module (DIMM), available as an option, in the memory slot on the bottom of the computer. DIMMs with different capacities are available. Note: Use only a PC133 DIMM in your computer. If you install a DIMM that is not supported by your computer, the computer beeps, and the system does not start. You can purchase the appropriate memory option from your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Attention: Before you start installing a module, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action reduces any static electricity from your body. The static electricity could damage the DIMM. To install the DIMM, do the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. Turn off the computer; then disconnect the ac adapter and all cables from the computer. Close the computer display, and turn it over. Remove the battery. Loosen the screw on the memory slot cover; then remove the cover. 7 . If the DIMM is already in the memory slot, remove it to replace the new one by pressing out on the latches on both edges of the socket at the same time. Be sure to save it for future use. 5. Find the notch on the side of the DIMM. Attention: To avoid damaging the DIMM, do not touch its contact edge. 6. With the notched end of the DIMM toward the right side of the socket, insert the DIMM into the socket at an angle of about 20 degrees 1 ; then press it firmly 2 . 7. Pivot the DIMM until it snaps into place. Make sure that the card is firmly fixed in the slot and does not move easily. 8 8. Replace the memory slot cover over the memory slot, aligning the back side of the cover first; then tighten the screw. Attention: When you have added or upgraded a memory card, do not use your computer until you have closed the cover. Never use the computer with the cover open. 9. Put the battery back in place and turn the computer over again. To make sure that the DIMM is installed correctly, do as follows: 1. 2. Turn the computer on.

The "Installed memory" item shows the total amount of memory installed in your computer. For example, if you install a 64-MB DIMM into a computer whose built-in memory is 64 MB, the quantity shown in "Installed memory" should be 128 MB. 9 Trademarks Your Name: _______________________________ Company Name: _______________________________ Model Number: _______________________________ Serial Number: _______________________________ Company or Reseller Service: _______________________________ IBM Service Website: _______________________________ IBM Service Number: _______________________________ Notes: The following terms, in this publication, are trademarks of the IBM Corporation in the United States or other countries or both: IBM ThinkPad TrackPoint Microsoft and Windows are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United Sates and/or other countries. 10
