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. You must install your original memory modules in pairs either in connectors RIMM1 and RIMM2 or RIMM3 and RIMM4. Do not pair one original memory module with one new memory module. 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, number of components, and speed. See "System Board Memory Components" to identify pairs of sockets.

•Mixed pairs of ECC and non-ECC modules all function as non-ECC.

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

•The system board supports PC800 memory modules.
