Memory expansion

You can install additional memory into the computer in order to increase
the amount of system memory that is available. This section describes how
to install and remove optional memory modules.
■
You should place a mat beneath the computer in order to prevent the
computer's lid from becoming scratched or damaged when you are
installing/replacing the memory module. In this instance you should
avoid mats that are made of materials that hold or generate static
electricity.
■
When installing or removing a memory module, you must ensure that
you do not touch any other internal areas of the computer.
■
Insert the two memory modules into Slot A and Slot B respectively. The
computer will operate in dual channel mode.
You can access the inserted memory modules efficiently in dual
channel.

■
Expansion memory is a precision electronic component that may be
fatally damaged by static electricity. Since the human body can carry
static electricity, it is important that you discharge yourself before
touching or installing any expansion memory modules. To discharge
your body's static electricity, simply touch any metal close to you with
bare hands.
