Thread: Replacing the components

To replace the RAM, first eject the installed module by gently pushing the metal clamps on both sides of the slot outward. When the module pops out, slide it out from the slot holding it by its edges. Now insert the new module into the sl61 and press it down until the clamps snap in and hold it in place. Before replacing the hard drive, back up all your data and the drivers to an external storage device. The hard drive can be unplugged by first removing the screws holding it in place and then pulling it out. If the drive is fitted in a cage, you will have to remove it from the cage and fit in the new drive. Plug the hard drive into the SATA port and fasten it with screws. Finally, fit the panel back and your netbook is ready to fire up.
