1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter.
2. Disconnect all peripherals and carefully turn the unit over.
3. Remove the battery by engaging the battery release switches and sliding the battery out of the compartment.
4. The memory slots are located within the Expansion Compartment which is located in the middle of the unit, just below the battery bay.
5. Remove the 1 screw from the expansion compartment cover and set it in a safe place.
   
   
   
6. Slide the cover towards you then lift it up and away from the notebook.
7. You will now see the RAM slots. If replacing an existing module, gently push out on the edge clips to release the module, then angle the card slightly upwards and out from its edge connector slot. Store the card in the anti-static bag that contains your new module(s).
   
   
   
8. To install a new memory card, hold the card with its edge connector toward the edge connector slot of the compartment. In order to help you orient the card, the edge connector has been made with two unequal length sections. You will only be able to insert the card in one direction.
9. Holding the card at a shallow angle, insert the edge connector into the slot. When the card is fully inserted, the edge connector should not be visible.
   
   
   
10. 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.
11. Once the module is properly seated, you can replace the cover on this compartment. Press the cover flat and then slide it into place. The hole in the cover should align with the screw hole in the system case.
12. Replace and tighten the compartment cover screw.
13. Line up the battery for insertion into the battery bay channel. Gently slide the battery towards the center of the unit until an audible click indicates that the latches have been secured.
14. Turn the unit right side up. 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) does not match your new memory configuration, retrace the steps of the installation to be certain that the SO-DIMM modules are properly installed.
