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.

See

Removing the Battery Pack

for information on how to 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.

A protective sheet covers the memory module under the cover. Lift the sheet when installing/removing the memory

module.

Be careful not to lift the sheet so much that it is detached or folded back.

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).
