Replacing the memory

Before you start, print these instructions.

Increasing memory capacity is an effective way to make programs run faster. You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing a double data rate three (DDR3) synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) unbuffered small outline dual inline memory module (SO-DIMM), available as an option, in the memory slot of the computer. SO-DIMMs with different capacities are available. To replace or add memory, read the following prerequisites, and then the instruction.

Prerequisites for the procedure

When replacing the memory, be sure to follow the precautions.

Note: The operating speed of the memory module depends on the system configuration of your computer and its combination with the memory module installed on your computer. In some conditions, the memory in your computer may not be able to operate at the maximum speed.

Attention: Before you start installing a module, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action reduces any static electricity from your body. The static electricity could damage the SO-DIMM.

Replacing the memory

To install an SO-DIMM, do the following:

1.Turn off the computer, then disconnect the ac power adapter and all cables from the computer.

2.Close the computer display, and turn it over.

3.Remove the battery. See “Replacing the battery” on page 89.
