You have a single memory slot and it is using DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM. You can replace the 4 gb module with an 8 gb module:

 

This would work and is being offered at a pretty good price:

Yes. But the 240 G5 comes with several different processor options and what kind of memory it needs depends on the processor. But even the lowest end machine can accept a single 8 gb module.

That is why I linked you to the Service Manual. Tell us first what processor you have as it makes a difference in what kind of memory you need to buy and how many slots are in there.

If its a 6th gen platform Pentium it has one slot and if its 7th it has two. In either case it is DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM.
