Introduction
Micronics manufactures 2.5v, 200-pin SO-DIMM (Small Outline
DIMM) memory modules with DDR (Double Data Rate) technology
for various notebook computers. The instructions on this
page provide general installation and handling information,
and should be used in conjunction with your model-specific
Owner's Manual.
Installation Procedures
1. Place your notebook computer's power
switch in the off position, disconnect the AC power cord,
and remove the rechargeable battery to prevent damage during
memory installation. Refer to your computer's Owner's Manual
for specific details.
2. Follow the instructions in your Owner's
Manual to obtain access to your compute's memory expansion
socket or sockets.
3. Before touching any electronic components
or opening the package containing your new memory module,
make sure you first touch an unpainted, grounded metal object
to discharge any static electricity you may have stored
on your body or clothing.
4. Handle your new memory module carefully.
Do not flex or bend it. Always grasp the module by its edges.
5. As shown in the illustration, your memory
module and the expansion socket are keyed. A small plastic
bridge in the socket must align with the notch in the module.
The keyed bridge and notch insures that the module can be
plugged into the socket one way only.
6. Insert your memory module into the socket
at a 30-45 degree angle. Make sure the module is completely
seated in the socket. If you have problems inserting the
module into the socket, stop and examine both the module
and the socket. Make sure the notch and the module are properly
aligned with the keyed plastic bridge in the socket. Do
not force the module into the socket. If too much force
is used, both the socket and memory module could be damaged.
7. Once the module is seated properly in
the socket, rotate the module downwards until the clips
at each end of the expansion socket click into place, securing
the module into the socket.
8. After installing your module or modules,
close the computer; reinstall any cables that may have been
disconnected during the installation process; and, plug
in the AC power cord, and/or replace the rechargeable battery. |

Removal Procedures
To remove a module from an expansion socket, place your
thumbs on each of the clips located on both sides of the
socket, and press apart to the left and right away from
the module. The module should spring upward. Remove it at
the same angle it was inserted.
