CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on
the system board. See "Specifications" on page 167 for information on the
memory supported by your computer. Install only memory modules that are
intended for your computer.

Memory modules purchased from Dell are covered under your computer

warranty.

Your computer has two user-accessible SODIMM sockets, DIMM A and
DIMM B accessed from the bottom of the computer.

NOTICE:

If your computer has only one memory module, install the memory module

in the connector labeled “DIMMA.”

If you need to install memory modules in two connectors, install a

memory module in the connector labeled “DIMMA” before you install a module in
the connector labeled “DIMMB.”
