electrostatic discharge (ESD), before beginning any procedure, ensure

A memory module, sometimes called a memory card, is a narrow,
printed circuit board that holds memory chips. A memory module
is inserted into a memory slot.
The notebook has 2 memory module compartments. The primary
memory module compartment is located under the keyboard. The
expansion memory module compartment is located on the bottom
of the notebook.
The memory capacity of the notebook can be upgraded by adding
a memory module to the expansion slot or by upgrading the
existing memory module in the primary memory module slot.
