Removing The System Memory (Ram) From Under The Keyboard - Clevo P150EM Service Manual

Removing the System Memory (RAM) from Under the Keyboard

The computer has four memory sockets for 204 pin Small Outline Dual In-line (SO-DIMM) DDR III (DDR3) type memory
modules. The total memory size is automatically detected by the POST routine once you turn on your computer.
Note that four SO-DIMMs are only supported by Quad-Core CPUs; Dual-Core CPUs support two SO-DIMMs maxi-
mum.
Two primary memory sockets are located under component bay cover (the bottom case cover), and two secondary
memory sockets are located under the keyboard. If you are installing only two RAM modules then they should be in-
stalled in the primary memory sockets under the component bay cover.
