You need a small

capacities and any module can be placed in any
slot.
To add or replace memory modules:
1 Follow the guidelines under “Preventing
static electricity discharge” on page 38.
2 Turn off your notebook.
3 Disconnect the AC adapter, modem cable,
and network cable.
4 Disconnect all peripheral devices and
remove any PC cards.
5 Turn your notebook over so the bottom is
facing up, then remove the battery. For
more information, see “Changing
batteries” on page 33.
