degrade the module’s
performance.

The computer has two memory sockets for 204 pin Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) supporting
DDR3L (Up to 1600 MHz). The main memory can be expanded up to 8GB. The SO-DIMM modules supported are
1024MB and 2048MB DDRIII Modules. The total memory size is automatically detected by the POST routine once you
turn on your computer.
Memory Upgrade Process

4. RAM
1. Turn off the computer, turn it over, remove the bottom cover, battery (page 2 - 5) and keyboard (page 2 - 8).
2. The RAM modules will be visible at point on the mainboard (Figure 6a
).
3. Gently pull the two release latches ( & ) on the sides of the memory socket in the direction indicated by the
arrows (Figure 6b).
The RAM module will pop-up, and you can then remove it.
4. Pull the latches to release the second module if necessary.
5. Insert a new module holding it at about a 30° angle and fit the connectors firmly into the memory slot.
6. The module will only fit one way as defined by its pin alignment. Make sure the module is seated as far into the slot
as it will go. DO NOT FORCE IT; it should fit without much pressure.
7. Press the module in and down towards the mainboard until the slot levers click into place to secure the module.
8. Replace the component bay cover and the screws
(see page 2 - 10).
9. Restart the computer to allow the BIOS to register the new memory configuration as it starts up.
