You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing a 
double-data-rate three low voltage synchronous dynamic random access 
memory (DDR3L SDRAM)-available as an option-in the memory slot of your 
computer. DDR3L SDRAMs are available in various capacities.
 To install a DDR3L SDRAM, do the following: 
1Touch a metal table or a grounded metal object to reduce any static 
electricity in your body, which could damage the DDR3L SDRAM. Do
not touch the contact edge of the DDR3L SDRAM. 
2Turn off the computer. Disconnect the AC power adapter and all cables
from the computer.
3Close the computer display, and turn the computer over. 
4Remove the battery pack.
5Remove the Hard disk drive/Memory/Mini PCI Express Card slot 
compartment cover.
a. Loosen the screws that secure the compartment cover  .
b. Remove the compartment 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.
