Replacing the DIMM B Memory Module
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.
Your computer has two user-accessible SODIMM sockets that can be accessed from the bottom of the computer.

Removing the DIMM A Memory Module

The DIMM A memory module is located directly above the DIMM B memory module located on the bottom of the computer.
1. Follow the procedures in Before You Begin.
2. Turn the computer over and loosen the four captive screws along with the M2.5 x 5-mm screw. Remove the module cover.
3. Use your fingertips to carefully spread apart the securing clips on each end of the memory module connector until the module pops up.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the ProductInformationGuide.
NOTE: Memory modules purchased from Dell are covered under your computer warranty.
NOTICE: If you need to install memory modules in two connectors, install a memory module in the connector labeled "DIMM B" before you install a
module in the connector labeled "DIMM A."
NOTICE: 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).
