CHAPTER 4: INSTALLING AND REPLACING COMPONENTS

Upgrading or Replacing Memory

Your laptop is equipped with a configurable memory unit. The industry standard JEDEC PC3-10600 (DDR3) SODIMM memory module connectors are available for memory upgrade.

NOTE: If you purchased a dual-core processor, your computer supports only memory module connectors DIMM 1 and DIMM 2.

NOTE: The table below illustrates one possible way the system memory can be configured. You can also configure the system memory by installing memory modules in connectors DIMM 3 and DIMM 4.
