You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing a double data rate

memory slot of your computer. SO-DIMMs are available in various capacities.
To install an SO-DIMM, do the following:

Touch a metal table or a grounded metal object to reduce any static electricity in your body,
which could damage the SO-DIMM. Do not touch the contact edge of the SO-DIMM.
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

Note:
Use only the memory types supported by your computer. If you incorrectly install the optional
