You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on
the system board. See "Specifications" on page 112 for information on the
memory supported by your computer. Be sure to add only memory modules
that are intended for your computer.

purchased from Dell are
covered under your
computer warranty.
CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read the safety
instructions on page 9.
