Installing the Cooling Shroud

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 Position the cooling shroud by aligning the guide slots with the guide

screws on the system board. See Figure 5-11.

2 Push the cooling shroud down until all edges are secured to the system

board.

3 Close the system. See "Opening and Closing the System" on page 50.

System Memory

Your system supports single- and dual-rank DDR3 unbuffered ECC DIMMs

(UDIMMs). DIMMs can be 1066 or 1333 MHz.
The system contains four memory sockets. Each two-socket set is organized

into two channels. The first socket of each channel is marked with white

release levers.

General Memory Module Installation Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general

guidelines when configuring your system memory.

NOTE:

Memory configurations that fail to observe these guidelines can prevent

your system from starting and producing any video output.

• Except for memory channels that are unused, all populated memory

channels must have identical configurations.

• Memory modules of different sizes can be mixed in sockets 1 to 4

(for example, 2 GB and 4 GB), but all populated channels must have

identical configurations.

• Memory modules are installed in the numeric order of the sockets

beginning with 1 to 4.
