RE: install memory on i5 520

["Haase, Justin C." <justin.haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Extremely limited steps:

1.  Turn off system
2.  Remove all cables
3.  Install anti-static strap
4.  Remove covers
5.  Rip apart
6.  Install chips

Reverse steps for re-assembly.  The hardest part is that the memory
clips hurt your fingers if you have to unclip whole lot of them.  =(
Naturally, make sure you have a backup.  Quickeasydone.

This would be customer install even if you brought it from IBM, and
since you bought it used, its definitely customer install.  Installing
the memory is VERY easy.
