Removing the System Memory (RAM) from Under the Keyboard

The computer has 

four 

memory sockets for 204 pin Small Outline Dual In-line (SO-DIMM) 

DDR 3L

 type memory modules.

The total memory size is automatically detected by the POST routine once you turn on your computer. 

Two primary memory sockets are located under component bay cover (the bottom case cover), and two secondary
memory sockets are located under the keyboard

If you are installing only two RAM modules then they should be in-

stalled in the primary memory sockets under the component bay cover.
