Removing a Memory Upgrade Module
1 Perform steps 1 through 5 of Installing a Memory Upgrade Module.
2 Pull the clips sideways away from each side of the memory upgrade module at the same time.
3 While holding the clips out, remove the module from the slot by lifting it and pulling it away from your notebook.
4 Store the memory upgrade module in a static guarded sleeve.
5 Replace the cover and reinstall the screws.
Checking the Memory Capacity
Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure to
check that your notebook has recognized the change.
Check the memory capacity by doing the following: from Modern Start screen press [Windows]+[X], then select
Control Panel > System. The amount of memory is displayed next to Installed Memory (RAM): The amount of
memory displayed should be approximately the total of all memory modules installed. There may be a discrepancy
which is allocated for fixed video memory.
THE MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE IS NOT SOMETHING YOU ROUTINELY REMOVE FROM YOUR NOTEBOOK. ONCE IT IS INSTALLED, YOU SHOULD LEAVE IT
IN PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT TO CHANGE SYSTEM MEMORY CAPACITY.
IF THE TOTAL MEMORY DISPLAYED IS INCORRECT, CHECK THAT YOUR MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE IS PROPERLY INSTALLED. (IF THE MODULE IS
PROPERLY INSTALLED AND THE CAPACITY IS STILL NOT CORRECTLY RECOGNIZED, SEE TROUBLESHOOTING ON PAGE 85
