Upgrading Your VAIO Computer
Adding and Removing Memory
If you want to expand the functionality of your computer, you can increase the memory by installing optional memory modules.
Before you upgrade your computer's memory, read the notes and procedures in the following pages.
Notes on adding/removing memory modules
❑
Be careful when changing memory. Improper installation of memory modules may cause damage to your system. This
damage may void your manufacturer's warranty.
❑
Only use memory modules that are compatible with your computer. If a memory module is not detected by the computer
or the Windows operating system becomes unstable, contact the sales dealer or the manufacturer of your memory
module.
❑
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Before touching a memory module, ensure the
following:
❑
The procedures described in this document assume user familiarity with the general terminology associated with
personal computers and with the safety practice and regulatory compliance requirements for using and modifying
electronic equipment.
❑
Turn off your computer and disconnect it from its power sources (battery pack and AC adapter) and from any
telecommunication links, networks, or modems before you remove any cover or panel from the computer. Failure to
do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
❑
ESD can damage memory modules and other components. Install the memory module only at an ESD workstation.
If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area, and do not handle materials that produce or hold
static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example). Ground yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal
portion of the chassis while performing the procedure.
❑
Do not open the memory module package before you are ready to change the module. The package protects the
module from ESD.
