Replacing and installing a memory module

Increasing memory capacity is an effective way to make programs run faster. You can increase the amount of memory capacity in your computer by installing a DDR3 SDRAM unbuffered small outline dual inline memory module (SO-DIMM), available as an option, in the memory slot of the computer.

When installing or replacing a memory module, be sure to follow the precautions.

Note: The operating speed of the memory module has dependency on the system configuration.

Attention: Before you start installing a memory 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 memory module.

•Use either a PC3-10600 or a PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM memory module in your computer. If you install a memory module that is not supported by your computer, the computer might beep, and the system might not start or might not work properly. You can purchase the appropriate memory option from your Lenovo reseller or a marketing representative.

•ThinkPad L430 and L530 have two memory slots, one under the keyboard and the other under the memory slot cover at the bottom side of the computer.

To replace and install the memory module under the keyboard, 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.
