NOTICE: If you remove your original memory modules from the computer during a memory upgrade, keep them separate from any new modules that you may have, even if you purchased the new modules from Dell.

Otherwise, your computer may not start properly.

•Memory sockets must be upgraded in matched pairs. In other words, two sockets in a pair must contain modules of identical capacity with the same number of components and the same speed. To locate the memory sockets on the system board, see "System Board."

•Be sure to install a RIMM in socket 1 first (closest to the processor) before installing modules in the other sockets.
