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.
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. For details, see “Replacing the battery pack” on 
page 28.
5 Remove 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.
