&''
When adding system memory, you may install memory modules in any order. For
optimum operation, Dell recommends installing the memory modules starting with
socket A (closest to the top edge of the system board) and working toward socket D,
leaving no open sockets between installed memory modules.
Table 8-1 lists sample memory configurations.
Follow this procedure to perform a memory upgrade:
1. Remove the computer cover according to the instructions in “Removing the
Computer Cover” in Chapter 7.
