You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on
the system board. See "Specifications" in your Owner’s Manual 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 that can be
accessed from the bottom of the computer.

If you need to install memory modules in two connectors, install a
memory module in the connector labeled “DIMM1” before you install a module in
the connector labeled “DIMM2.”

To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist
grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface (such as a
connector on the back of the computer).
NOTICE:
If a memory module is installed in the DIMM 2 connector, remove it prior
to removing the memory module from the DIMM 1 connector. Failure to do so could
result in damaging both memory modules.
