Installing Memory Modules

WARNING: The memory modules are hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules to cool before handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components on the memory module.

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling, memory-module blanks must be installed in any memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory-moduleblanks only if you intend to install memory in those sockets.

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

2Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 85.

3Remove the expansion card stabilizer. See "Removing the Expansion Card Stabilizer" on page 87.

4Remove the cooling shroud. See "Removing the Cooling Shroud" on page 88.

5Locate the memory module sockets. See Figure 6-1.

6Remove the memory-module blanks from the sockets in which you plan to install memory modules.

7Press out the ejectors on each end of the socket until the memory-module blank pops out of the socket. See Figure 3-17.

NOTE: Make sure to retain any removed memory-module blanks for future use.

8Press the ejectors on the memory module socket down and out, as shown in Figure 3-17, to allow the memory module to be inserted into the socket.

9Handle each memory module only on either card edge, making sure not to touch the middle of the memory module.
