Modem

Your Dell computer comes equipped with two memory slots/connectors labeled DIMM A and DIMM B. DIMM A (located under the keyboard) holds the primary

memory module as configured from the factory. DIMM B (located on the bottom of the computer) holds any additional memory you may have ordered. If you did not

order additional memory, DIMM B will be empty.

Generally, if you are adding memory, you will install a memory module in DIMM B only. If you are upgrading the memory, you may need to install memory modules in

DIMM A and DIMM B, depending on the extent of the upgrade.
