1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery.
2. Disconnect all peripherals and carefully turn the unit over.
3. You will see two compartments on the bottom of the unit. The memory compartment is the larger compartment toward the rear of the unit.
   
   
   
4. Remove the 3 screws from the compartment cover and set them in a safe place.
   
   
   
5. Remove the compartment cover by sliding it toward the rear
   of the system and then angling it up and out.
   
6. You will now see the RAM slot. If you need to remove a SO-DIMM
   module to install a higher capacity module, you can do so by gently
   pushing out on the edge clips to release the module. Then angle the
   card slightly upward and gently slide it from its edge connector slot.
   Store the card in the anti-static bag that contains your
   new module(s).
   
   
   
   
7. To install the new memory card, hold the card with its gold edge
   connector toward the edge connector slot of the compartment.
   In order to help you orient the cards, the edge connector has been
   made with two unequal-length sections. You will only be able to
   insert the card in one direction.
8. Holding the card at a shallow angle, insert the edge connector
   into the slot. When the card is fully inserted, the gold edge connector
   should not be visible.
9. Press the card downward until it is flat. You should hear an audible
   click as the latches of the connector secure the card in place.
   
10. Once the module is properly seated, you can replace the cover
    on this compartment. Start with the cover slightly to the rear
    of the system. Press the cover flat and then slide it into place.
    The holes in the cover should align with the screw holes in the
    system case.
    
11. Replace and tighten the 3 screws.
12. Turn the unit over, connect your power cord if desired, and restart
    the computer. Your WinBook notebook should automatically register
    the new memory. If the memory size indicated during the POST
    (Power On Self Test) that appears when you boot does not match
    your new memory configuration, retrace the steps of the installation
    to be certain that the SO-DIMM modules are properly installed.
