Removing the System Memory (RAM)
The computer has three memory sockets for 204 pin Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) support-
ing DDR3 1066/1333MHz. The main memory can be expanded up to 12GB. The SO-DIMM modules supported are
1024MB, and 2048MB and DDRIII Modules. The total memory size is automatically detected by the POST routine once
you turn on your computer.
Memory Upgrade Process
1. Turn off the computer, remove the battery (page 2 - 5) and the keyboard (page 2 - 9).
