Installing System Components

12 Start up the system, press <F2> to enter the System Setup program,

and check the System Memory settings 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 190.

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.

1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect

the system from the electrical outlet.

2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 87.
3 Remove the cooling shroud. See "Removing the Cooling Shroud" on

page 90.
