Memory Installation Guidelines

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. You should

install your original memory modules in pairs either in connectors DIMM1 and DIMM2 or connectors DIMM3 and DIMM4.

If possible, do not pair an original memory module with a new memory module. Otherwise, your computer may not

function at optimal performance.
