Upgrading your Memory
Refer to the following instructions and illustration for information on upgrading your notebook's memory.
Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals.
Turn the notebook over so that the rear ports are facing you and locate the memory module compartment.
Remove the screws that secure the RAM module compartment cover and set it aside in a safe place.
Remove the compartment cover and then angling it up and out.
If you need to install a higher capacity module, gently push the edge clips on both sides to release the module.
Angle the card slightly upward and gently slide it from its edge connector slot. Store the card in the anti-static
bag that contains your new module(s).
To install the new memory card, hold the card with its gold edge connector toward the edge connector slot of
the compartment. To help you orient the cards, the edge connector has been made with two unequal-length
sections. You will only be able to insert the card in one direction.
Insert the edge connector into the slot. The gold edge connector of the card should not be visible when the
card is fully inserted.
Press the card downward where you should hear an audible click as the latches of the connector secure the
card in place.
Once the module is properly seated, you can replace the cover on this compartment.
Replace and tighten the screw.
