You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by replacing a

DIMMs are available in various capacities.
 To install an SO-DIMM, do the following:

electricity in your body, which could damage the SO-DIMM. Do not 
touch the contact edge of the SO-DIMM.

the computer.
3Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.

install optional memory, or install an unsupported memory type, a warning 
beep will sound when you try to start the computer.
