In this video, Mahalo expert Sean Hewitt explains how to safely remove and install RAM in your PC.
Instructions for Installing RAM
To remove and install RAM, you'll need to first open your computer's case to access its internal components.
- Once located, you'll need to unlatch them from the slots on the motherboard by unhooking the white clips on both sides of the RAM. Refer to the picture above.
- Remove the RAM by grabbing the sticks on their outside edges. You don't want your fingers to touch the chips on the sides of the RAM.
- Make sure the white clips are pulled back and away so they are not upright. This means they are in the unlatch position.
- Gently slide the RAM into their correct slots. Once seated, push down on one side of the RAM stick, then the other side. You'll hear a click each time indicating that the RAM is snugly in place.
- Attach the white clips in place to securely latch the RAM down.

Safety Tip
It's a good idea to purchase an electrostatic discharge wrist strap and mat to safely ground yourself while working on sensitive electronic equipment. This will keep you from accidentally frying your computer equipment.
