8 Press down on the memory module with your thumbs to lock the memory

module into the socket.
When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on
the memory module socket align with the ejectors on the other sockets
that have memory modules installed.

9 Repeat step 5 through step 8 of this procedure to install the remaining

memory modules. See Table 3-3.

10 Replace the system board shroud. See "Installing the System Board

Shroud" on page 103.

11 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 83.
12 Start up the system, press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and

check the System Memory setting on the main System Setup screen.
The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly
installed memory.

13 If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be

installed properly. Repeat step 2 through step 12 of this procedure,
checking to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their
sockets.

14 Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running the

Embedded System Diagnostics" on page 168.

Removing Memory Modules

WARNING:

The memory modules are hot to the touch for some time after the

system has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules to cool
before handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid
touching the components on the memory module.

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.

CAUTION:

To ensure proper system cooling, memory-module blanks must be

installed in any memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory-module
blanks only if you intend to install memory in those sockets.
