You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing
double data rate three synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3

To i nstall a DDR3 SDRAM module, do the following :
1 Touch a metal table or a grounded metal object to reduce any static
electricity in your body, which could damage the DDR3 SDRAM. Do not
touch the contact edge of the DDR3 SDRAM module.
2 Turn off the computer. Disconnect the AC power adapter and all cables
from the computer.
3 Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.
4 Remove the battery pack. For details, see “Replacing the battery pack” on
page 28.

Note: Use only the memory types supported by your computer. If you incorrectly install

when you try to start the computer.
