how to install Kingston ValueRAM 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR5 SDRAM Memory Kit

• Power down the notebook, unplug the power adapter, and remove any connected peripherals. If possible, perform the upgrade on a grounded, static-free surface to prevent static damage to sensitive components.
• Locate the memory compartment panel on the bottom of the laptop. Use the appropriate screwdriver to remove the panel, exposing the existing memory modules and slots.
• If replacing existing modules, release them by gently pulling the side retention clamps away from the modules until they pop up at an angle. Remove old sticks carefully to avoid damaging the slot pins.
• Align the Kingston ValueRAM modules with the notches in the memory slot. For notebook SO-DIMMs, insert at about a 45-degree angle, then press straight down until the modules snap firmly into place and the retention clips click to secure them.
• Reassemble the bottom panel, reconnect the power, and boot the notebook. Enter the BIOS/UEFI or your operating system's system information to confirm that the full 16GB is recognized. If necessary, enable any XMP/DOCP settings if your system supports them and you want to run at the rated speed. Verify stability with a brief stress test or memory diagnostic tool.
