Key component upgrades

Your computer is designed to deliver solid performance. However, in time, you might find that your applications demand even more computing power. For this reason, you are able to upgrade key components.

Note: contact your authorized dealer if you decide to perform a key component upgrade.

Memory upgrade

Your computer features two memory slots that accept soDIMMs (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules). The memory slots support PC-133 SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).

The memory slots are easily accessible, allowing you to upgrade your computer's memory.

To install memory:

1Turn off the computer. Make sure that the AC adapter is disconnected, and then remove the battery pack.

2Turn the computer over to access the memory compartment on the bottom of the unit. Remove the screw from the memory compartment door, and then lift the door off.
