Removing a Memory Module
Replacing a Memory Module
Verifying Memory Capacity
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.
NOTE:
Memory modules purchased from Dell are covered under your computer warranty.
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:
