How to Install Transcend 2GB DDR2 SDRAM Memory Module
- Power off your computer and unplug all power sources. If you’re working with a laptop, remove the battery if possible.
- Open the memory access panel or service compartment to expose the memory slots. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge.
- Handle the new module by its edges and align the notches with the slot. Insert the module into the slot at a gentle angle and then press down evenly until it is fully seated and the retaining clips snap into place.
- For laptops, ensure the module is firmly seated and the back panel is reattached. For desktops or small form-factor devices, replace any covers and reassemble the chassis as required.
- Reconnect power and boot the system. Enter the BIOS or operating system to verify that the memory is recognized as 2GB DDR2-667. If recognized, save any settings and proceed with normal usage.
