Memory module installation

Adding memory to the computer is an easy way to make programs run faster. You
can increase the amount of memory in the computer by installing memory
modules. The IntelliStation E Pro computer uses industry-standard, dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs).
Note: The desktop model does not support installing memory in DIMM connector
3.
Do the following to install a DIMM:
Attention:
When handling static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see "Handling
electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices" on page 134.
1. Review the safety precautions listed in the "Safety information" on page 131.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices. Disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then remove the cover. See "Removing the cover" on
page 45 for details.
3. Lift the frame support bracket. See "Removing the frame support bracket" on
page 46.
4. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the computer. Then remove the new DIMM from the
package.
5. Gently open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM slot. Turn the DIMM
so that the pins align correctly with the connector.
6. Insert the DIMM into the connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight down
into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM
simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the
DIMM is firmly seated in the connector.
7. If a gap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not
been correctly installed. Open the retaining clips, remove the DIMM, then
reinsert it.
8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
