Adding Memory

You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on the system board.
See "Specifications" on page 89 for information on the memory supported by your computer. Be
sure to add only memory modules that are intended for your computer.
CAUTION:
Before working inside your Dell™ computer, read the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
NOTE:
Memory modules purchased from Dell are covered under your computer warranty.
1 Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down the computer (see
"Turning Off Your Computer" on page 27).
2 If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it. See the documentation
that came with your docking device for instructions.
3 Remove all installed batteries, and disconnect the AC adapter cable and any external devices
from the computer. Wait 5 seconds before proceeding.
4 Ground yourself by touching a metal connector on the back of the computer, and continue to
do so periodically during this procedure.
NOTICE:
While you work, periodically touch unpainted metal on the computer to dissipate static
electricity that might harm internal components.
5 Turn the computer over, remove the screw from the memory module cover, and lift the cover.
