Dell PP19L owner manual Installing a Memory Module in Connector Dimm B, Screws Memory module cover

The computer has two memory module connectors labeled "DIMM A" and "DIMM B." Connector DIMM A (located under the keyboard) holds the basic memory module as configured from the factory. If you did not order additional memory, connector DIMM B (located on the bottom of the computer under the memory module cover) will be empty. Generally, if you are adding memory, you will install a memory module in connector DIMM B. If you are upgrading memory, you may need to install memory in both the DIMM A and B connectors, depending on the extent of the upgrade.
