2 Knowing the Parts
Memory (RAM) Compartment
The memory compartment provides expansion capabilities for additional memory. Additional memory
will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk access. The BIOS automatically detects
the amount of memory in the system and configures CMOS accordingly during the POST (Power-On-
Self-Test) process. There is no hardware or software (including BIOS) setup required after the memory
is installed. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information on memory upgrades for your
Notebook PC. Only purchase expansion modules from authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to
ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.

dling the Notebook PC while it is in operation or recently been in operation. High
