How to use

Power off the laptop, disconnect from power and remove the battery if applicable before installing the memory module. Open the memory compartment according to the laptop manufacturer's instructions, then insert the SO‑DIMM into the slot at an angle and press down until the side clips engage. After installation, reassemble the laptop, reconnect power and start the system. Verify that the operating system and BIOS/UEFI recognize the new 16 GB memory capacity and adjust memory settings if required.

Recommendations

Check the laptop documentation or manufacturer support pages to confirm DDR4 3200 MHz SO‑DIMM compatibility and maximum supported memory. When pairing with an existing module, match memory type and speed for optimal performance. Handle the module by its edges and avoid touching contact pins; use anti‑static precautions during installation.
