Replacing a Memory Module
CAUTION:
Before you perform the following procedures, see the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
CAUTION:
To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of
your computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.
NOTICE:
Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal
mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a microprocessor by its edges, not by its pins.
NOTE:
Memory modules purchased from Dell are covered under your computer warranty.
NOTE:
To get maximum performance\dual-channel memory bandwidth capability, both memory module connectors must contain memory modules and
the modules must be of the same size and configuration.
NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the memory module connector, use your fingers instead of a tool to spread the clips that secure the memory module.
NOTICE:
Handle memory modules by their edges, and do not touch the components on a module.
