You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing a double-data-rate three
synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3 SDRAM)-available as an option-in the
memory slot of your computer. DDR3 SDRAMs are available in various capacities.
To install a DDR3 SDRAM, do the following:
1
Touch a metal table or a grounded metal object to reduce any static electricity in your body,
which could damage the DDR3 SDRAM. Do not touch the contact edge of the DDR3
SDRAM.
2
Turn off the computer. Disconnect the AC adapter and all cables from the computer.
3
Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.
4
Remove the battery pack.
5
Remove the Hard disk drive (HDD)/Memory/Mini PCI Express Card slot compartment
cover.
a. Loosen the screws that secure the compartment cover
.
b. Remove the compartment cover

Note:
Use only the memory types supported by your computer. If you incorrectly install optional memory,
or install an unsupported memory type, a warning beep will sound when you try to start the
computer.
