1 Adding or replacing memory modules The memory module compartment is located on the bottom of the computer. The memory capacity of the computer can be upgraded by adding a memory module to the vacant expansion memory module slot or by upgrading the existing memory module in the primary memory module slot.
Adding or replacing a memory module to the expansion memory module slot WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock and damage to the equipment, unplug the power cord and remove all batteries before installing a memory module. CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Before beginning any procedure, touch a grounded metal object to be sure that you are discharged of static electricity.
b. Grasp the edge of the memory module (2), and gently pull the module out of the memory module slot. To protect a memory module after removal, place it in an electrostatic-safe container. 10. Insert a memory module: a. Align the notched edge (1) of the memory module with the tab in the memory module slot. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory module, hold the memory module by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the memory module and do not bend the memory module. b.
13. Tighten the memory module compartment cover screw (3). 14. Replace the battery. 15. Reconnect external power and external devices. 16. Turn on the computer.
Upgrading a memory module in the primary memory module slot WARNING!

2 Increasing hard drive space for the Hibernation file When Hibernation is initiated, the operating system stores your information to a Hibernation file on the hard drive and then turns off the computer. The operating system reserves space on the hard drive to store the Hibernation file based on the amount of system memory. When you increase the memory, the operating system increases the hard drive space reserved for the Hibernation file.
