Hi:

 

All the sources I found say no (service manual, crucial).

 

But it makes no sense that an 8 GB chip would work in one slot and not both.

 

Do you have any DDR3L memory laying around you can test in the empty slot?

 

If any capacity works, then 8 GB should also work.

 

It would be something you would have to experiment with.
