11 Enter the System Setup program, and verify that the value for System
Memory reflects the newly installed memory (see "Entering the System
Setup Program" on page 41).
NOTE:
If the value for System Memory is incorrect, one or more of the
memory modules may not be installed properly. Reseat the memory modules
in their connectors and check the value again. If the problem persists, run the
system memory test in the system diagnostics (see "Running the System
Diagnostics" on page 163).
Processor
You can upgrade your processor to take advantage of future options in speed and
functionality. The processor and its associated internal cache memory is
contained in a land grid array (LGA) package that is installed in a ZIF socket on
the system board.
Removing the Processor
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 Prior to upgrading your system, download the latest system BIOS
version on support.dell.com.
2 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet and from the peripherals.
3 Remove the system cover (see "Removing the System Cover" on page 66).
4 Remove the processor airflow shroud (see "Removing the Processor Airflow
Shroud" on page 70).
NOTICE:
When you remove the heat sink, the possibility exists that the processor
may adhere to the heat sink and be removed from the socket. It is recommended
that you remove the heat sink while the processor is still warm.
