Replacing memory
Important
Read Safety and Warranty Guide before replacing memory.
Increasing memory capacity is an effective way to make programs run faster.
You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing a
double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random access memory
(DRAM) unbuffered small outline dual inline memory module (SO-DIMM),
available as an option, in the memory slot of your computer. SO-DIMMs with
different capacities are available.
Note: Use only the memory types supported by your computer. If you
incorrectly install the optional memory or install an unsupported
memory type, a warning beep will sound when you try to start the
computer.
To install an SO-DIMM, do the following:
1. Touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action reduces any
static electricity in your body, that could damage the SO-DIMM. Do not
touch the contact edge of the SO-DIMM.
2. Turn off the computer ; then disconnect the ac adapter and all cables
from the computer.
3. Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.
4. Remove the battery.
5. Remove the screws that hold the palm rest in place.
