Adding or replacing memory modules The computer has two 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 computer. The memory capacity of the computer can be upgraded by adding a memory module to the empty expansion memory module slot or by upgrading the existing memory module in the primary memory module slot.
. Lift the memory module compartment cover (2) away from the computer. NOTE: If the expansion memory module slot is not populated, bypass step 9 and proceed to step 10. 9. Remove the memory module: a. Pull away the retention clips (1) on each side of the memory module. The memory module tilts up. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory module, hold the memory module by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the memory module. b.
10. Insert a memory module: a. Align the notched edge (1) of the memory module with the tab in the memory module slot. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory module, hold the memory module by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the memory module and do not bend the memory module. b. With the memory module at a 45-degree angle from the surface of the memory module compartment, press the module (2) into the memory module slot until it is seated. c.
15. Reconnect external power and external devices. 16. Turn on the computer. Upgrading a memory module in the primary memory module slot To upgrade a memory module in the primary memory module slot, follow these steps: 1. Save your work. 2. Shut down the computer.
