2.7 Memory Module Upgrade

To increase your notebook's memory capacity (up to 8 GB

maximum), additional memory modules may be installed. The

memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module.

Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade module

compartment except for the ones specically shown in the directions

here.

Installing a Memory Module

The following steps describe how to install a memory upgrade

module. We do not recommend that you do this yourself.

1. Turn off power to your notebook using the power switch,

disconnect the power adapter, and/ or remove the battery pack.

2. Place your notebook upside-down on a clean work surface.

3. Loosen the ve screws securing the compartment cover.

4. Lift up and remove the compartment cover. The memory upgrade

module can be severely damaged by electrostatic discharge

(ESD). Be sure you are properly grounded when handling and

installing the module.

5. Align the connector edge of the memory upgrade module, chip

side up, with the connector slot in the compartment.

6. Insert the memory upgrade module at a 45

angle and press it

rmly onto the connector.

7. Press the memory upgrade module down into the compartment

until it locks into the retaining clips on either side. You will hear a

click when it is properly in place.

8. Replace the cover and screws that were removed previously.

Installation of the new memory module is now complete.

The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely remove

from your notebook PC. Once it is installed, you should leave it in

place unless you want to increase system memory capacity.
