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.
Be careful when changing memory. Mistakes on installation or removal of the memory module may cause a malfunction.
Only use memory modules that are compatible with your computer. If a memory module is not detected by your computer or Windows
presents unstable operation, contact your sales dealer or the manufacturer of your memory module.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Before touching a memory module, 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.
