Adding Memory

You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on
the system board. See page 65 for information on the type of memory
supported by your computer.

HINT:

Memory modules

purchased from Dell are
covered under your
computer warranty.

Your computer has two memory module sockets labeled “DIMM A” and
“DIMM B.” You can install all sizes of memory modules you purchase from
Dell (but which Dell does not install), except the 192-MB memory module,
in either socket. If you purchase a non-Dell-installed 192-MB memory
module, you must install it in the “DIMM B” socket.

CAUTION:

Before working inside your computer, read the “Safety

Instructions” at the front of this guide (see page 7).

NOTICE:

Do not install or remove a memory module when the computer is

turned on, in standby mode, or in hibernate mode.

1

Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down

the computer (see page 16).

2

Remove all installed batteries and disconnect external devices.
