Installing Memory Modules

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 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect
the system from the electrical outlet and peripherals.
2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 68.
3 Remove the expansion card shroud. See "Removing the Expansion Card
Shroud" on page 72.
4 Remove the processor shroud. See "Removing the Processor Shroud" on
page 72.
NOTICE:
Never remove the expansion card shroud or processor shroud without
first powering down the system. Overheating of the system can develop quickly
resulting in a shutdown of the system and the loss of data.
5 Locate the memory module sockets on the system board. See Figure 6-1.
CAUTION:
The DIMMs are hot to the touch for some time after the system has
been powered down. Allow time for the DIMMs to cool before handling them.
Handle the DIMMs by the card edges and avoid touching the DIMM components.
6 Press the ejectors on the memory module socket down and out, as shown
in Figure 3-33, to allow the memory module to be inserted into the socket.
