You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing 
double data rate three synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3 
SDRAM)-available as an option-in the memory slot of your computer. DDR3 
SDRAM modules are available in various capacities.
 To install a DDR3 SDRAM module, do the following: 
1Touch 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.
2Remove the battery pack. For details, see “Replacing the battery pack” on 
page 33.
3Remove the screws , and then remove the bottom slot cover .
Note:  
Use only the memory types supported by your computer. If you incorrectly install 
optional memory, or install an unsupported memory type, a warning beep will sound 
when you try to start the computer.
Make sure the computer is turned off and all the cables disconnected from the computer 
before you replace the memory.
Make sure the computer display is closed to avoid being damaged.
Two memory channels are supported. Both channels should have a memory of the same 
size and rank. You should install the ram in Slot 1 if there is only ONE ram module.
