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.

1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect

the system from the electrical outlet.

2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 78.
3 Remove the cooling shroud. See "Removing the Cooling Shroud" on

page 101.

4 Locate the memory module sockets. See Figure 6-1.
5 Press the ejectors on the memory module socket down and out, as shown

in Figure 3-15, to allow the memory module to be inserted into the socket.

6 Handle each memory module only on either card edge, making sure not to

touch the middle of the memory module.
