Memory Upgrade Compartment
Your notebook comes with high speed Double Data Rate 3 Synchronous Dynamic RAM (DDR3
SDRAM). The memory upgrade compartment allows you to expand the system memory capacity of your
notebook, thus improving overall performance. See “Memory Upgrade Module” on page 65. Under
normal circumstances, it should not be necessary to open this compartment.
Air Vents
The air vents allow air to circulate through the system to cool down the components.
TO PROTECT YOUR NOTEBOOK FROM DAMAGE AND TO OPTIMIZE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, BE SURE TO
KEEP ALL AIR VENTS UNOBSTRUCTED, CLEAN, AND CLEAR OF DEBRIS. THIS MAY REQUIRE PERIODIC
CLEANING, DEPENDING UPON THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE SYSTEM IS USED.
D
O NOT OPERATE THE NOTEBOOK IN AREAS WHERE THE AIR VENTS CAN BE OBSTRUCTED, SUCH AS IN
TIGHT ENCLOSURES OR ON SOFT SURFACES LIKE A BED OR CUSHION.
