Installing DIMMs

Perform the following steps to add DIMMs to your computer.
1. Open the system unit according to the directions in "Opening the
System Unit" on page 43. You'll need to remove the top panel and the

The J7000, on the other hand, requires one additional step before the
DIMMs are accessible. Because it has twice the number of processors
as the J5000, the J7000 requires greater cooling capacity to prevent
components from overheating. This is effected, in part, by two
sheet-metal air guides that channel the airflow directly at the
processors' turbocoolers. One of these air guides, in addition to
channeling the airflow to the processors, also hides the DIMM slots,
