Memory Modules
The computer has two memory slots, DIMM A and DIMM B. DIMM A (under the keyboard) holds the basic memory module as configured from the factory. If you did not order additional memory, DIMM B (on the bottom of the computer) is empty. If you are adding memory, you will install a memory module in DIMM B (on the bottom of the computer under the options cover). If you are upgrading memory, you may need to install memory in DIMM A and DIMM B.
