Adding Memory
You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on
the system board. See "Specifications" on page 128 for information on the
memory supported by your computer. Be sure to add only memory modules
that are intended for your computer.
NOTE: Memory modules
purchased from Dell are
covered under your
computer warranty.
CAUTION: Before working inside your Dell™ computer, read the
safety instructions on page 11.
1Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down
the computer (see "Turning Off Your Computer" on page43).
2If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it.
See the documentation that came with your docking device for
instructions.
3Remove all installed batteries, and disconnect the AC adapter cable
and any external devices from the computer. Wait 5 seconds before
proceeding.
4Ground yourself by touching a metal connector on the back of the
computer, and continue to do so periodically during this procedure.
NOTICE: While you work, periodically touch unpainted metal on the
computer to dissipate static electricity that might harm internal components.
5Turn the computer over, remove the screw from the memory module
cover, and lift the cover.
