HP OmniBook 6000 - Installing and Removing a RAM Module

In this document:

Installing a RAM Expansion Module

The computer has no memory (RAM) built in, but has two slots that hold two RAM modules. One slot contains a RAM module installed at the factory. You can use both slots to expand your RAM.

    To install a RAM expansion module

    You will need a small Phillips screwdriver for these steps.

    CAUTION: Your computer's chips are extremely sensitive to static electricity, and can be permanently damaged by it. Handle the RAM module only by its edges. Before installing the memory module, discharge your body's static electricity by touching the metal shielding around the connectors on the rear of the computer.

    1. Click Start, Shut Down, Shut down.
    2. Important: Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery. Remove the secondary battery if one is installed.
    3. Turn the unit bottom-side up, remove the screw holding the RAM cover, and remove the cover.
    4. Insert the RAM board into the connector at about a 30 degree angle until it is fully inserted. Then press down at both sides until both latches snap closed.

      Step 4: Insert the RAM board into the connector

    1. Replace the cover.
    2. Insert the battery.
