Installing Memory Modules
NOTE: Your computer has two memory module sockets. All Dell memory modules
(except the 192-MB capacity module) can be inst alled in either socket.
NOTICE: The 192-MB memory modules are socket-specific. Before install-
ing a 192-MB memory module, refer to the markings on the memory
module to determine which socket accepts the module.
CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read “Protecting Against
Electrostatic Discharge” found in the “Safety In s tructions” at the front of
this guide.
NOTICE: Do not install or remove a memory module when the computer is
turned on, in standby mode, or in hibernate (save-to-disk sus pe n d) mod e.
To install a memory module, perform the following steps:
1. Save and close any open files, exit any open application programs, and shut down
the computer.
2. Remove all installed batteries and peripherals, and disconnect the AC adapter
cable from the computer.
3. Ground yourself by touching a metal input/output (I/O) connector on the back of
the computer.
4. Turn the computer over as shown in Figure1-4, remove the screws, and lift up
the memory module cover.
