You computer is shipped with 48Mb of memory (SDRAM) as standard. This will ensure that most applications currently available will run quickly and efficiently. It is possible however, to add more memory, up to a maximum of 144Mb.

The memory modules used in this computer are SO-DIMMs (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules). There is provision for two SO-DIMMs in the memory compartment. There is already a 32Mb SO-DIMM inserted, which, combined with the 16Mb of memory on the motherboard, gives the standard 48Mb. You can fit any two SO-DIMMS from the available values (8, 16, 32, 64Mb), giving a maximum of 144 Mb of RAM. The two SO-DIMMS do not have to be equal amounts of memory.

When purchasing memory, we recommend that you contact your Mitsubishi dealer. This will ensure that you obtain the correct module.

Caution - electrostatic discharge

Memory modules are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge, and can easily be damaged by small amounts of static present on the body. To avoid causing damage, it is recommended that you discharge any static electricity by touching something metal before handling memory modules.

Also, when handling memory modules, make sure you hold them by the edges, avoiding contact with the chip or the contacts.

Inserting a SO-DIMM

Caution

Suspend and Standby modes are not the same as ‘off’; make sure the machine is properly switched off.

When using the Power switch in Suspend/Resume mode, you can switch the computer off by holding the Power switch down for four seconds.

1. Shut down the computer, and turn it off.
2. Close the lid of the computer.
3. Remove the battery and the AC adapter.
4. Remove the screw securing the memory compartment lid, and lift the lid off. The memory compartment is located on the underside of the computer, as shown in the following diagram.
   
5. Carefully slot the memory module into the vacant slot in the memory compartment. Push the module firmly into place to insert properly.
6. Replace the memory compartment cover.
7. Switch the machine back on. The computer detects the new memory automatically.
8. Check that the memory has been detected by double-clicking on the System icon in the Control Panel. The amount of RAM available is displayed at the bottom of the System Properties dialogue.
