The slot A is reserved for main memory. Use the slot B for expanded 
memory. If only one card is installed, use the slot A.
If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules and the 
circuits located close to the memory modules will become hot. In this 
case, let them cool to room temperature before you replace them. 
Or you will get burnt if you touch any of them.
Do not touch the connectors on the memory module or on the 
computer. Debris on the connectors may cause memory access 
problems.
