Memory Configuration
Your notebook is equipped with 16MB of on-board memory. It is expandable to 80MB.
Additional DIMMs must be installed in pairs of equal size. For example, it is possible to
install two 16 MB DIMMs, or two 32MB DIMMs. Both memory slots must be occupied.
It is not possible to install one 16MB and one 32MB DIMM.
Possible memory upgrade configurations are:
• 24MB, by installing two 4MB DIMMs
• 32MB, by installing two 8MB DIMMs
• 48MB, by installing two 16MB DIMMs
• 80MB, by installing two 32MB DIMMs
Installing Memory (DIMMs)
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 and remove the battery.
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)
