Removing the computer access panel To access internal components, you must remove the access panel: Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer. Remove all removable media, such as optical discs or USB flash drives, from the computer. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.
Replacing the computer access panel Place the panel on the computer (1), and then slide it forward (2). Fasten the two screws (3) to secure the panel in place. Changing from desktop to tower configuration The computer can be used in either a horizontal or a tower orientation. Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer.
Reconnect the power cord and any external devices, then turn on the computer. NOTE: Ensure at least 10.2 centimeters (4 inches) of space on all sides of the computer remains clear and free of obstructions. Lock any security devices that were disengaged when the access panel was removed. Installing additional memory The computer comes with double data rate 3 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3- SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
The system will operate in single channel mode if the DIMM sockets are populated in one ● channel only. The system will operate in a higher-performing dual channel mode if the memory capacity of the ● DIMM in Channel A is equal to the memory capacity of the DIMM in Channel B. The system will operate in flex mode if the memory capacity of the DIMM in Channel A is not ●...

Locate the DIMM sockets. Open both latches of the memory module socket (1), and insert the memory module into the socket (2). NOTE: A memory module can be installed in only one way. Match the notch on the module with the tab on the memory socket. For maximum performance, populate the sockets so that the memory capacity is spread as equally as possible between Channel A and Channel B.
The computer should automatically recognize the additional memory the next time you turn on the computer. Removing or installing an expansion card The computer has one PCI Express x1 expansion slot, one PCI Express x16 expansion slot, and two PCI expansion slots. NOTE: The PCI Express slots support only low profile cards.
