4. Using the UltraNav™
.
Your ThinkPad computer comes with the UltraNav pointing device. The UltraNav consists of the TrackPoint® and the touch
pad, each of which is itself a pointing device with basic functions and extended functions.
You can use both the TrackPoint and the touch pad together. You can also configure the pointing devices to your preferred
settings. For example, you can use the TrackPoint and the touch pad for pointing with their extended functions. Or you can
use the TrackPoint for its pointing function only, and the touch pad for its extended functions only, or vice versa.
For more information about the UltraNav, press the ThinkPad button to open Access ThinkPad, your on-board help system.
Note: Some models have the TrackPoint only, without a touch pad and its buttons.

Installing memory
Increasing memory capacity is an effective way to make programs run faster. You can increase the amount of memory in
your computer by installing a PC2100 double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRM)
unbuffered small outline dual inline memory module (SO-DIMM), available as an option, in the memory slot on the
bottom of the computer. SO-DIMMs with different capacities are available.
Note: Use only a PC2100 DDR SDRAM unbuffered SO-DIMM in your computer. If you install a SO-DIMM that is not supported by
your computer, the computer beeps, and the system does not start. You can purchase the appropriate memory option from your IBM
reseller or IBM marketing representative.
Attention: Before you start installing a module, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action reduces any static
electricity from your body. The static electricity could damage the SO-DIMM.
To install the SO-DIMM, do the following:
1. Turn off the computer; then disconnect the ac adapter and all cables from the
computer.
2. Close the computer display, and turn it over.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Loosen the screw on the memory slot cover; then remove the cover.

If the SO-DIMM is already in the memory slot, remove it to make room for the
new one by pressing out on the latches on both edges of the socket at the same
time. Be sure to save it for future use.
5. Find the notch on the side of the SO-DIMM.
Attention: To avoid damaging the SO-DIMM, do not touch its contact edge.
6. With the notched end of the SO-DIMM toward the right side of the socket, insert
the SO-DIMM into the socket at an angle of about 20 degrees ꢀ1ꢁ; then press it
firmly ꢀ2ꢁ.
7. Pivot the SO-DIMM until it snaps into place.
Make sure that the card is firmly fixed in the slot and does not move easily.

8. Replace the memory slot cover over the memory slot, aligning the back side of the cover first; then tighten the screw.
Attention: When you have added or upgraded a memory card, do not use your computer until you have closed the memory
slot cover. Never use the computer with the cover open.
9. Put the battery back in place and turn the computer over again.
To make sure that the SO-DIMM is installed correctly, do as follows:
1. Turn the computer on.
2. While the “Press F1 for IBM BIOS Setup Utility” message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key. The
IBM BIOS Setup Utility screen appears. The “Installed memory” item shows the total amount of memory installed in your
computer. For example, if you install a 256-MB SO-DIMM into a computer whose built-in memory is 256 MB, the quantity
shown in “Installed memory” should be 512 MB.
