It's interesting that the focus is on "pairs" of memory while a single memory module is shown in the bottom section and remains there after two more modules are added under the keyboard.??
@@ritchierobinson9195 This gentleman is correct. This is the way you would want to go about it. 4x16gbs. Just make sure you buy it all from the same manufacturer, and have everything matching, including rank, clockspeed, cas latency, and of course size. You're not going to want to lift that keyboard anymore than absolutely necessary, so make sure you get it right the first time. I wonder how much acid the Dell enginners ate before designing this mobo? I'm going to guess it was a minimum of 250 micrograms.
Good video. But makes no sense that Dell did this. I cannot understand the engineers logic here, it makes very little sense, it's just very bad design. I had a another workstation a while back in the form of a HP Zbook 15 G3, which also had 4 SO-DIMM slots and they were all right next to each other, you just simply removed the back panel and had access, like you would a normal mobo, this is just insane. Having to go to this level of dissembly is going to be uncomfortable even for some experienced hardware users. That all said, because the design is so nuts, I would actually be really curious to speak to someone from Dell to understand why they did it this way, just for curiousity. Class video mate.
i upgraded the ram to 32 gb of ram of ddr4 and the laptop is running smoothly
while upgrading RAM/SSD pls show the configuration to the audience I think it can help more the this video
.
Spec sheet says it supporta upto 64 gb not 128

So if I’m upgrading from 32gb to 64gb do I replace the two 16gb with two 32gb or add two 16gb chips to the upper channel?
I think you also need 4 matching sets of ram.
2 x 16 GB at rear and 2 x 16GB under keyboard, max supported is 64GB, matching pairs

Max capacity per slot is 16Gb
