    My guess, if the notebook is designed like most others, is that you'll want to take off the bottom panel of the notebook (6 screws after removing the battery?) and you'll find the RAM slots looking right back at you.

    Remove cover one. Look for the memory slot and replace the modules.

    I would also add it is a good idea to use a grounding strap whenever working inside your awesome Sager ! Be careful not to bend the clips that hold the ram in place (been there). Once the ram is in it should click firmly in place.
