The WinBook XP5 Pro has a maximum capacity of 72MB of Ram. If that amount is already installed then there is no further memory upgrade possible.

There is an 8MB Ram chip on the motherboard. In addition, there are two memory sockets, which can accept either 8MB or 16MB or 32MB memory modules. The memory is proprietary memory modules available only from WinBook.

For a guide on how to install the memory module please refer to your manual on pages 5.2 thru 5.4.

1. Shut down the system completely and turn the case over.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, undo the screw holding the cover in place.
3. Carefully lift the cover and set and the screw aside.



4. If you are replacing an existing SIMM, carefully lift the existing module straight out of the socket. [XP5 Pro 5.3]
5. Place the new SIMM into the socket by lining up the connector on the bottom of the module with the socket and then pressing the module gently into place.

 

6. Make sure the module is properly seated.
7. Replace the cover.
8. Boot the system. The additional RAM should be detected automatically. You might be taken to the Setup program to complete the setup.
