Upgrading your VAIO computer
Upgrading your VAIO computer
Your computer and memory modules use high precision components and electronic connectors technology. To avoid the
invalidation of your guarantee by mishandling, it is recommended that:
❑
You contact your dealer to install a new memory module.
❑
You do not install it yourself, if you are not familiar with upgrading memory on a computer.
❑
You do not touch the connectors or open the memory panel.
❑
Contact VAIO-Link if you need assistance.
Adding and removing memory
In the future you may want to change or add memory modules in order to expand the functionality of your computer. You can
increase the memory by installing optional memory modules. Depending on the configuration of your computer, the number of
available slots can vary.
Be careful when changing memory. Mistakes on installation or removal of the memory module may cause a malfunction.
For possible memory upgrades, depending on your model, use only DDR333 DDR-SDRAM Micro-DIMM (gold leaf contacts) or SO-
DIMM (depending on your model). See the printed
Specifications
sheet for more information.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Before touching a memory expansion board, ensure 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 (that is, battery or AC adapter) 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.
