You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on the system board. See "Specifications" in your Quick Reference Guide for information
on the memory supported by your computer. Install only memory modules that are intended for your computer.
Your computer has two user-accessible SODIMM sockets, DIMM A and DIMM B, accessed from the bottom of the computer.
Removing Memory Module(s)
The memory modules are located under the base cover on the computer.
1. Follow the procedures in Before You Begin.
2. Turn the computer over and remove the base cover (see Removing the Base Cover).
3. Use your fingertips to carefully spread apart the securing clips on each end of the memory module connector until the module pops up.
4. Remove the module from the connector.
Replacing Memory Module(s)
1. Align the notch in the module edge connector with the tab in the connector slot.
2. Slide the module firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and rotate the module down until it clicks into place. If you do not hear the click, remove the
module and reinstall it.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions that shipped with your computer.
