If your system has an empty memory slot, you don’t need to remove the only memory module available. As we explained before, you can keep it in order to have more RAM memory available. If this is your case, skip this page.
If your notebook has two memory slots and both of them are filled with a memory module, you will need to remove one of them (the one with smaller capacity).
To do that, release the side locks located on the memory slot with your fingers, as shown in Figure 8. As you release the locks, the module will automatically pop up and stay in a 45º angle position, as you can see in Figure 9.
