System Memory Upgrade

This document provides instructions for upgrading the Rambus inline memory mod- ules (RIMMs) on the Dell Precision WorkStation 620. Dell Precision 620 systems support dual, direct, Rambus dynamic random-access memory (RDRAM) modules. These RIMMs feature error checking and correction (ECC).

NOTES: Dell recommends that only a technically knowledgeable person perform this procedure.

Dell recommends that you read the entire procedure before you begin. You must also be familiar with removing the system cover and locating the RIMMs.

Dell recommends that you print the contents of the system User’s Guide for referencing important information that may not be available during critical procedures. This document is available on your Dell Precision ResourceCD and can also be accessed from the User’s Guides icon on your current desktop if you have not reinstalled the operating system.

Upgrading the BIOS

You must upgrade the basic input/output system (BIOS) before you upgrade the RIMMs. Otherwise, the existing BIOS may not recognize the new RIMMs, and the system will not operate.

To upgrade the BIOS:

1.Download the BIOS update utility for the computer to be updated from the Dell support website.

a.Go to http://support.dell.com.

If this is your first time to use this website, complete the one-time registration.

b.Click Downloads for Your Dell.

c.Enter your Service Tag Number for the computer to be updated or select the appropriate Dell™ system.
