RAM Installation Instructions
1. Shut down the laptop completely, unplug the AC adapter, and ensure all external accessories are removed.
2. Flip the laptop over and remove the screw securing the RAM/HDD access panel on the bottom chassis.
3. Use a plastic pry tool to gently pop the access panel off and set it aside.
4. Locate the battery connector and carefully unplug the harness from the motherboard to ensure no power is flowing during the installation.
5. Identify the two SO-DIMM slots; if you have one 16 GB module installed, remove it by gently pulling the side metal clips away from the module until it pops up at an angle.
6. To achieve the 32 GB upgrade, insert two matching 16 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM modules into the slots at a 30-degree angle, ensuring the notch on the RAM aligns with the key in the slot.
7. Push the module downward firmly until the side metal clips click into place, securing the memory.
8. Reconnect the battery harness, replace the access panel, and secure it with the original screw.
9. Power on the system and access the BIOS (F2 key during startup) to confirm the new total memory of 32 GB is recognized.

SSD Installation Instructions
1. Power off the system, unplug the power cable, and remove the bottom access panel as described in the RAM guide.
2. Always disconnect the battery harness from the motherboard before touching any internal storage components to prevent electrical shorts.
3. Locate the M.2 SSD slot; if an existing drive is present, remove the small Phillips-head screw holding it down.
4. Carefully slide the existing drive out of the slot and set it aside.
5. Take your new NVMe PCIe or SATA M.2 SSD and insert it into the slot at a 30-degree angle, ensuring it is seated fully into the connector.
6. Push the other end of the SSD down so it aligns with the standoff and reinstall the securing screw to lock the drive in place.
7. If you are replacing the 1TB HDD as well, remove the four screws holding the HDD bracket, unplug the SATA cable, and install your new 2.5-inch SATA SSD into the bracket.
8. Reconnect the battery harness, reattach the access panel, and secure the screws.
9. Power on the laptop and verify the new storage capacity in the BIOS settings or Windows Disk Management.
