You may want to remove a RAM module so you can install a larger one. You'll need a
small Phillips screwdriver for these steps.
Your computer's chips are extremely sensitive to static electricity, and can be
permanently damaged by it. Handle the RAM module only by its edges. Before
installing the memory module, discharge your body's static electricity by touching
the metal shielding around the connectors on the back of the computer.

the cover.
