Dell™ Latitude™ E4300 Service Manual
You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on the system board. See "Specifications" in your Setup and Quick Reference Guide for
information on the memory supported by your computer. Install only memory modules that are intended for your computer.
Your computer has two user-accessible SODIMM sockets, referred to as DIMM A and DIMM B, both accessed from the bottom of the computer. The socket
closest to the system board, DIMM A, always contains a memory module. The DIMM B socket may contain an additional module for improved system memory
performance. If the module in the DIMM A socket must be replaced and DIMM B is installed, you must remove DIMM B first.
Your computer supports the following memory configurations:

NOTICE:
If your computer has only one memory module, install the memory module in the socket labeled "DIMM A."
NOTICE:

that you may have, even if you purchased the new modules from Dell. If possible, do not pair an original memory module with a new memory
module. Otherwise, your computer may not perform optimally.
NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the memory module connector, do not use tools to remove or replace the memory module.
