Point to note about memory module error
If you install a memory module that is not compatible with the computer, the
Power indicator will flash (on for 0.5 seconds, off for 0.5 seconds) in the
following way;
■ If there is an error: repeatedly flashes orange twice, then white or green
once.
In all instances you should shut down the computer and remove the
incompatible module(s).
For more details on using memory cards, see manuals accompanying the
cards.
■ You should place a mat beneath the computer in order to prevent the
computer's lid from becoming scratched or damaged when you are
installing/replacing the memory module. In this instance you should
avoid mats that are made of materials that hold or generate static
electricity.
■ When installing or removing a memory module, you must ensure that
you do not touch any other internal areas of the computer.

■ Additional memory module is a precision electronic component that
may be fatally damaged by static electricity. Since the human body can
carry static electricity, it is important that you discharge yourself before
touching or installing any additional memory modules. To discharge
your body’s static electricity, simply touch any metal close to you with
bare hands.
Use a point size 0 Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws -
