Adding and Upgrading Memory Modules
WARNING: The memory compartments are the only user-
accessible internal compartments on the notebook. All other areas
that require a tool to access should be opened only by an
authorized service provider.
WARNING: Failure to unplug the power cord and remove all
battery packs before installing a memory expansion board can
damage the equipment and expose you to the risk of electrical
shock.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic
components. Before beginning any procedure, ensure that you are
discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal
object. For more information, refer on this CD to the Regulatory
and Safety Notices guide.
The notebook has 2 memory slots. The primary memory slot is
located under the keyboard. The primary memory slot is
populated at the factory. The memory expansion slot is located
on the bottom of the notebook.{xe "memory:primary slot"}
The memory capacity of the notebook can be upgraded first by
adding a memory module to the expansion slot and then by
upgrading the memory module in the primary memory slot.
