These banks are located near the back edge of the system board (see Figure 6-1), next to the cooling fan assembly.

Memory Upgrade Kits

The system is upgradable to 4 GB by installing combinations of 64-,128- 256-, 512-MB, and 1 GB registered memory modules. If you receive an error message stating that maximum memory has been exceeded, see "Indicators, Messages, and Codes," for detailed information. You can purchase memory upgrade kits from Dell as needed.
