Upgrading memory
In the future, you may want to upgrade the memory installed on your VAIO by replacing / adding memory modules. However, we
recommend that you do not install them yourself unless you are familiar with upgrading memory on a computer.
For memory upgrades, use only those modules mentioned in the printed
Specifications
table.
Be careful when adding memory yourself. Mistakes on installation or removal of the memory module may cause a malfunction.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Before touching a memory expansion board, remember the following:
❑
Handle the memory module gently.
❑
The procedures described in this document assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal computers
and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.
❑
Disconnect the system from its power source and from any telecommunication links, networks, or modems before you open the
system. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
❑
Do not open the memory module package until you are ready to install the module. The package protects the module from ESD.
❑
Use the special bag delivered with the memory module, or wrap the module in aluminium foil to protect it from electrostatic
discharge.
✍
Do not place the memory module in places subject to: Heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock, strong
magnets or speakers that are not magnetically shielded, ambient temperature of more than +35°C or less than +5°C , or high humidity.
!
Introducing any liquids or any foreign substances or objects into the memory slots, or other internal components of the computer, will result in damage to the computer and
any repairs will be out of warranty.
