Adding and Removing Memory Modules
If you want to increase your computer’s speed or improve performance when
running programs simultaneously, increase the amount of memory by installing
optional memory modules.
Before you upgrade your computer’s memory, see Notes on Adding and Removing
Memory Modules.
If you install memory modules into two or more slots, the dual-channel mode is
enabled to help improve performance.
The type of module and the amount of memory installed on your computer may
differ depending on the model.
1. Turn off your VAIO computer and peripheral devices, disconnect the power cord
and all connection cables, and remove the battery pack.
See Removing the Battery Pack for information on how to remove the battery
pack.
2. Wait for a while until your VAIO computer cools down.
The inner parts of your VAIO computer may be hot just after turning off. Be
careful to avoid burns while handling your VAIO computer in this state.
3. Lay a clean cloth on a level, flat surface, place your VAIO computer on it as
illustrated below. Remove the screws with a cross slot screwdriver to open the
memory module compartment cover.
The screw locations are indicated by the arrows in the illustration below.
On some models, captive screws are used on the memory module compartment
cover and cannot be detached from the cover.
A protective sheet covers the memory module under the cover. Lift the sheet
when installing/removing the memory module.
Be careful not to lift the sheet so much that it is detached or folded back.
4. Touch an external metal object to discharge static electricity.
Do not touch any metal parts inside your VAIO computer.
5. If there is no free slot, remove the currently installed memory module. Pull the
latches in the direction of the arrows to pop up the module at an angle (1),
then pull the module out in the direction of the arrow (2).
6. Remove the new memory module from its antistatic bag.
