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 before touching any components.
• Identify the correct slot for a DDR2 SO-DIMM. Align the notch on the module with the slot key to ensure proper orientation.
• Insert the module at a slight angle (about 30-45 degrees) and gently press down until the module seats fully and the side clips snap into place to secure it.
• Reconnect power and boot the system. Enter the BIOS/UEFI if needed to verify that the memory is detected as 2GB DDR2-667. Save changes and exit to complete the installation.
