8 GB DDR3L SO-DIMM for ThinkPad T430s

This 8 GB DDR3L module is built for the Lenovo ThinkPad T430s series including models 2352, 2353, 2355 and 2356. It runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing at 1.35 V. The 204-pin SO-DIMM format fits the notebook's memory slots directly.

Suits T430s owners adding one module

It suits owners of the listed ThinkPad T430s models who need a single 8 GB upgrade. It is not for systems that require ECC or registered memory. It is not for laptops that only accept 1.5 V DDR3 modules. It is not for desktops or servers using full-size DIMMs.

DDR3L 1600 CL11 at 1.35 V decides fit

The key specification is DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) with CL11 11-11-11 timing at 1.35 V. The module must be unbuffered, non-ECC, 2Rx8 rank and 204-pin SO-DIMM. If your T430s slot requires a different voltage, speed or pin count this part will not work.

Questions about this item

Will the 204-pin SO-DIMM fit the memory slot in a ThinkPad T430s?

Yes, the module uses the standard 204-pin DDR3L SO-DIMM form factor designed for the T430s notebook.

What is the correct way to seat the module so the notebook recognises the full 8 GB?

Insert the stick at an angle until the gold contacts disappear, then press down firmly until both side clips click into place.

Does the 1.35 V DDR3L stick need any special handling or replacement schedule?

No special handling is required; the module has no heat spreader and carries a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.
