Installing System Components

Installing an Optical Drive

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 If installed, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on

page 79.

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

the system from its electrical outlet.

3 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 80.
4 Align the two notches of the metal standoffs on the chassis with the holes

in the drive. See Figure 3-16.

5 Pull the release latch, place the optical drive in position, and release the

release latch.

6 Connect the power and data cables to the back of the drive.

You must route these cables properly underneath the tabs on the system

chassis to prevent them from being pinched or crimped. See Figure 3-1.

7 If not already done, connect the power cable to DVD_PWR and the

interface cable to SATA_E on the system board. See Figure 6-1.

8 If applicable, replace the optional front bezel. See "Installing the Front

Bezel" on page 79.

9 Reconnect the system and peripherals to their electrical outlets.

System Memory

Your system supports DDR3 registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) or unbuffered

ECC DIMMs (UDIMMs). Single and dual-rank DIMMs can be 1067 MHz or

1333 MHz, and quad-rank DIMMs can be 1067 MHz.
The system contains 8 memory sockets split into two sets of four sockets, one

set per each processor. Each four-socket set is organized into three channels.

Two DIMMs for channel 0 and a single DIMM for channel 1 and 2. The first

socket of each channel is marked with white release levers.
