Adding Memory

You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on
the system board. See "Specifications" on page 90 for information on the
memory supported by your computer. Be sure to add only memory modules
that are intended for your computer.

HINT: Memory modules

purchased from Dell are
covered under your
computer warranty.

CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read the "When

Working Inside Your Computer" on page 14.

1

Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down

the computer (see page 37).

2

Remove any installed PC Cards.

3

Remove the installed battery, and disconnect the AC adapter cable

and any external devices from the computer. Wait 5 seconds before

proceeding.

4

Ground yourself by touching a metal connector on the back of the

computer, and continue to do so periodically during this procedure.

NOTICE: While you work, periodically touch unpainted metal on the

computer to dissipate static electricity that might harm internal components.

5

Turn the computer over, remove the screw from the memory module

cover, and slide the cover out approximately 10 mm, and lift it away

from the computer.
