See, already confusing ;)
 
On T530/W530 you can access the 8M chip right after you remove the
keyboard and palmrest, but the 4M chip stays under the frame. And if you
don't want to waste your time by disassembling the laptop completely and
then assembling it back, you can use only the 8M chip and never even
touch the 4M one, but in order to do that, you have to modify the layout.
