Removing Memory Modules
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 Open the system. See "Opening the System" in Troubleshooting Your System."
2 If your system is configured as a tower, lay the system on its right side.
3 Remove the baffle/back fan assembly. See "Removing the Baffle/Back Fan Assembly."
4 Locate the memory module sockets. See Figure A-3.
5 Press down and out on the ejectors on each end of the socket until the memory module pops
out of the socket. See Figure 6-4.

Processors
It is possible to upgrade your processor(s) to take advantage of future options in speed and
functionality. Each processor and its associated internal cache memory are contained in a pin grid
array (PGA) package that is installed in a ZIF socket on the system board.
The following items are included in the processor upgrade kit:
• Processor
• Heat sink
1 Open the system. See "Opening the System" in Troubleshooting Your System."
2 If your system is configured as a tower, lay the system on its right side.
3 Remove the baffle/back fan assembly. See "Removing the Baffle/Back Fan Assembly."
NOTICE:
The processor and heat sink can become extremely hot. Be sure the processor has had
sufficient time to cool before handling.
4 Press the tab on the end of one of the heat-sink retention levers to disengage the lever, then
lift the lever 90 degrees. See Figure 6-5.
NOTICE:
Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to remove the processor. The
heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
