Memory Warning

If the Power Button is set to "Rest/Resume" in CMOS Setup, then pressing the power button does NOT turn off the computer, it just puts it in "Rest" mode.

There is still power flowing in the computer, EVEN IF THE BATTERY PACK IS REMOVED.

This is because there is a second battery (the backup battery) used to power the system when it is in rest mode.
If a memory upgrade, or any service, is performed on the system when it is in this state, damage could occur.

The Power Button needs to be set to "Power On/Off" in CMOS Setup before service is performed.
The main board has one memory module socket that takes a proprietary SIPP.
