Follow this procedure to perform a memory upgrade:

1.Remove the computer cover according to the instructions in "Removing the Computer Cover."

2.Determine the DIMM sockets into which you will install DIMMs or replace existing DIMMs. See Figure 1 and Table 1.

3.Install or replace DIMMs as necessary to reach the desired memory total.

Follow the instructions in "Installing a DIMM" or "Removing a DIMM," as appropriate.

4.Replace the computer cover, and reconnect your computer and peripherals to their electrical outlets and turn them on.

NOTE: If Enabled, the Chassis Intrusion option will cause the following message to be displayed at the next system start-up:

ALERT! Cover was previously removed.

The system detects that the new memory does not match the existing system configuration information and generates the following message:

The amount of system memory has changed.

Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility

5.Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program and check the System Memory under System Data Options.

The system should have already changed the value of System Memory to reflect the newly installed memory modules. Verify the new total. If it is correct, skip to step 7.

6.If the memory total is incorrect, turn off and disconnect your computer and peripherals from their electrical outlets. Remove the computer cover, and check the installed DIMMs to make sure that they are seated properly in their sockets. Then repeat steps 4 and 5.

7.When the System Memory total is correct, press the <Esc> key to exit the System Setup program.

8.Run the Dell Diagnostics to verify that the DIMMs are operating properly.

See your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for information on running the Dell Diagnostics and troubleshooting any problems that may occur.

Installing a DIMM
