located under the keyboard. The primary memory slot is
populated at the factory. The memory expansion slot is located on
the bottom of the notebook.
The memory capacity of the notebook can be upgraded first by
adding a memory module to the expansion slot and then by
upgrading the memory module in the primary memory slot.
