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 133 for information on the
memory supported by your computer. Install only memory modules that are
intended for your computer.

NOTE:

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 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.”

Removing Memory Module

The memory modules are located under the memory module cover on the
bottom of the computer.

1 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 107.
2 Turn the computer upside-down, loosen the eight captive screws on the

cover (see "Bottom View" on page 28), and remove the cover.
