6-2 Digital HiNote VP 500 Series
Memory Configuration
Your notebook’s system memory is expandable to 40MB. Additional DIMMs must be installed
in pairs of equal size. For example, it is possible to install two 4 MB DIMMs, two 8 MB
DIMMs, or two 16MB DIMMs. It is not possible to install one 8MB and one 16MB DIMM.
Installing Memory Cards
Static electricity will permanently damage your computer’s internal components. It is therefore
important to discharge the static electricity from your body before handling the DIMMs.
Discharge your body’s electricity by touching the metal shielding around the ports on the rear of
the notebook computer for approximately five seconds. If you regularly work on your notebook,
it may be beneficial to purchase an anti-static mat or wrist band. Contact your Digital notebook
dealer for anti-static device purchase information.
You may find it helpful to refer to Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2 while reading the following
directions.
1. Save all data files and close any applications which are open. Turn off the
notebook.
2. The memory door is located on the underside of the notebook. It is secured to
the notebook by two Philips head screws. Remove the screws and the memory
door to reveal the DIMM slots. (Figure 6-1)
