suspend, or hibernate mode. Make sure the Power indicator is off.

■Do not try to install or remove a memory module unless you have
completed steps 1 through 3 above. You can damage the computer
and the memory module and you may lose data.
■Only install the memory module in the computer for which it was
intended. If the memory is incorrectly installed, or installed in the wrong
computer, the computer will issue a series of short beeps. If this occurs,
shut down the power and remove the memory module.
■Be careful not to let screws or other foreign objects fall into the
computer. It may cause damage or injury.
Use a size 0 Phillips screwdriver to remove and secure screws. Use of an
incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
