Central Processor Unit (CPU) Compartment
Some Notebook PC models feature a socketed-processor design to allow upgrading to
faster processors in the future. Some models feature a ULV design for compactness and
may not be upgraded. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information on
upgrades.
WARNING! End-user removal of the CPU or hard disk drive will void the warranty.
Memory (RAM) Compartment
The memory compartment provides expansion capabilities for additional memory.
Additional memory will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk
access. The BIOS automatically detects the amount of memory in the system and
configures accordingly. There is no hardware or software (including BIOS) setup
required after the memory is installed. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information on
memory upgrades for your Notebook PC. Only purchase expansion modules from authorized retailers
of this Notebook PC to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.
