Back to Contents Page Memory Module and Modem Dell™ XPS M140 Service Manual Removing a Memory Module Replacing a Memory Module 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. NOTE: Memory modules purchased from Dell™ are covered under your computer warranty.
