Where is RAM socket 1 on a Dell D820?

Where does RAM bank 1 (or A) live on a Dell Latitude D820?

Popping the memory module cover on the back reveals the SODIMM socket for Bank 2, but I'd also like to replace the installed 512 MB on Bank 1. I'm dashed if I can find anywhere on the Web that deals with this.

Have you tried looking under Bank 1?

You probably mean Bank 2. Under that socket is a piece of glued-down paper, which I'm reluctant to remove as there's nothing under it that looks or feels remotely like a SODIMM socket/SODIMM.

A quick google of Dell Latitude D820 manual led me to this LINK

Ah. Google 'manual,' not 'RAM installation.' Thanks for fishing lesson as well as the tasty fish.
