Use the following steps to remove a memory or continuity module:
Turn off the computer.
Windows 98 or 2000: Click Start , Shut Down , and then Shut Down
Windows XP: Start and then Turn Off .
Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery.
From the bottom of the computer, remove the screw holding the RAM cover, and remove the cover.
Remove the board by pulling it away from the connector at a
45-degree angle.
Align the keyed (notched) edge of the board with the keyed area in the expansion slot. Insert the board into the slot at a 45-degree angle until it is seated.
Push the front edge of the board down until the retention clips snap into place. Then replace the cover
