Adding and Replacing Parts

Your computer has two user-accessible SODIMM sockets, one accessed from
beneath the keyboard (DIMM A), and the other accessed from the bottom of
the computer (DIMM B).

NOTICE:

If your computer has only one memory module, install the memory module

in the connector labeled “DIMMA.”

NOTICE:

If you need to install memory modules in two connectors, install a

memory module in the connector labeled “DIMMA” before you install a module in
the connector labeled “DIMMB.”

Removing the DIMM A Memory Module

NOTICE:

To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist

grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface (such as a
connector on the back of the computer).

The DIMM A memory module is located under the keyboard.

1 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 137.
2 Remove the hinge cover (see "Hinge Cover" on page 143).
3 Remove the keyboard (see "Keyboard" on page 145).

NOTICE:

To prevent damage to the memory module connector, do not use tools to

spread the memory module securing clips.

4 Use your fingertips to carefully spread apart the securing clips on each end

of the memory module connector until the module pops up.

5 Remove the module from the connector.
