NOTICE: If you remove your original memory modules from the computer during a memory upgrade,
keep them separate from any new modules that you may have, even if you purchased the new modules
from Dell. If possible, do not pair an original memory module with a new memory module. Otherwise, your
computer may not function at optimal performance.
NOTE: Memory modules purchased from Dell are covered under your computer warranty.
Your computer has two user-accessible SODIMM sockets, one accessed from beneath the keyboard
(DIMM A), and the other accessed from the bottom of the computer (DIMM B).
To add or replace a memory module in the DIMM A connector:

Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 123.
2
Remove the hinge cover (see "Hinge Cover" on page 125).
3

NOTICE: To prevent damage to the memory module connector, do not use tools to spread the memory-
module securing clips.
