Check to see if you have ample light. You may want to have a container to place small
screws in. The system unit cover may have small screws and you don't want to lose them.
After you have plenty of work space and ample lighting, prepare your mind as well. Make
this and every other adventure of working on your computer educational and fun.
Now go over to www.ultimatepcrepair.com/photos.html to familiarize yourself with all
components inside the PC. Take the time to study the actual components inside your
computer. You'll be glad you did should something go wrong. Follow these steps to install
your drive.
Turn off your computer and unplug all peripherals. Take notice of how you unplug or
disconnect any devices.
Remove the side panel of the tower system or the cover if you have a desktop. Place the
panel in a safe place well out of the way.
Before touching anything inside the system unit, remove electrical static charge from your
body by touching a door knob or any unpainted metal surface.
Remove the new memory from its protective wrapping and locate the sockets to install the
new memory chips.
Notice the type of retaining clips that hold the chips in place. Remove any old chips you
intend to move. Now to be sure you won't damage the chips, ground yourself again to
remove any remaining static electricity.
WANT TO SPEED UP YOUR PC? TRY ADDING RAM
Pull the retaining clip open and carefully slide the RAM Chips in their memory banks.
Push the clips back over the new memory chips.
Check and double check the firmness of the chips by gently trying to move them from side
to side. Take a good long look at the chips for anything that looks unusual.
Replace the system unit cover and reconnect all peripherals. Reboot the computer and the
operating system should recognize your new or added memory without any problem.
Its that easy when it comes to installing new or more memory.
Read your computer's manual first to find out what type of ram memory you have and
what is needed for upgrades.
Visit the Kingston memory site above and use their memory configurator to find out the
memory you need to upgrade your computer.
And go ahead and enjoy the faster speed you should experience once your new memory is
installed. Don't forget to run scandisk, defragment, and disk cleanup to clean your hard
drive of extra space.
