Upgrading your VAIO computer
Your computer and memory modules use high precision components and electronic connectors technology. 
To avoid the invalidation of your guarantee by mishandling, it is recommended that:
You contact your dealer to install a new memory module.
You do not install it yourself, if you are not familiar with upgrading memory on a computer.
You do not touch the connectors or open the memory panel.
Please contact VAIO-Link if you need assistance.
Adding and removing memory*
In the future you may want to change or add memory modules in order to expand the functionality of your 
computer. You can increase the memory by installing optional memory modules.
Be careful when changing memory. Mistakes on installation or removal of the memory module may cause a 
malfunction.
For memory upgrades, use only DDR266DDR333 DDR-SDRAM SO-DIMM or DDR266 DDR-SDRAM Micro-
DIMM* (gold leaf contacts).
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Before touching a memory expansion board, 
ensure the following:
Handle the memory module gently.
The procedures described in this document assume familiarity with the general terminology associated 
with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and 
modifying electronic equipment.
Disconnect the system from its power source (that is, battery or AC adapter) and from any 
telecommunication links, networks, or modems before you open the system. Failure to do so may result 
in personal injury or equipment damage.
