USAGE AND COMPATIBILITY
Product intended for use as internal memory in desktop computers and laptops.
Memory modules can be divided into DIMM – for desktop computers (PC) and SO-
DIMM – for laptops. To select the correct memory module, check the connector
standard in your host device (SDR, DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4).
Standards differ in operating frequency and shape of the edge connector
(number of pins, notch positioning).
In the case of connecting a memory module with a higher capacity than
supported by the host device, memory can be reduced (please refer to the
technical specification of your device).
INSTALLATION
Before installing the memory module, your computer must be turned off and
unplugged from the power source and the case side panel must be removed.
Remove the old memory module and install the new incorrect memory slot with
the matching notch position. When the memory is placed into the slot
correctly, the side case can be closed and the computer can be turned on.
The new memory module will be recognized by the operating system.
CAPACITY
Storage capacity for GOODRAM memory modules is always expressed in decimal values. That means, 1GB equals 1 000 000 000 bytes. The operating systems that use the binary conversion eg. 1GB equals 1 073 741 824 bytes may show a lower storage capacity value than advertised. Additionally, a part of the storage is reserved for files and firmware, managing the drive.
