How to Use
Adding and Removing Memory Modules
If you want to increase your computer’s speed or improve performance when running
programs simultaneously, increase the amount of memory by installing optional memory
modules.
Before you upgrade your computer’s memory, see Notes on Adding and Removing
Memory Modules.
If you install memory modules into two or more slots, the dual-channel mode is enabled to
help improve performance.
The type of module and the amount of memory installed on your computer may differ
depending on the model.
1. Turn off your VAIO computer and peripheral devices, disconnect the power cord and
all connection cables, and remove the battery pack.
2. Wait for a while until your VAIO computer cools down.
The inner parts of your VAIO computer may be hot just after turning off. Be careful to
avoid burns while handling your VAIO computer in this state.
3. Lay a clean cloth on a level, flat surface, place your VAIO computer on it as illustrated
below. Remove the screws with a cross slot screwdriver to open the memory module
compartment cover.
The screw locations are indicated by the arrows in the illustration below.
On some models, captive screws are used on the memory module compartment cover
and cannot be detached from the cover.
Screws marked by arrows are behind the battery.
4. Touch an external metal object to discharge static electricity.
Do not touch any metal parts inside your VAIO computer.
5. If there is no free slot, remove the currently installed memory module. Pull the latches
in the direction of the arrows to pop up the module at an angle (1), then pull the
module out in the direction of the arrow (2).
