As the computer boots, it detects the additional memory and automatically updates the
system configuration information.
NOTE: If the memory module is not installed properly, the computer does not boot. No error
message indicates this failure.
Adding a Mini PCI Card
If you ordered a Mini PCI card at the same time that you ordered your computer, Dell has
already installed the card for you.
NOTE: Handle components and cards by their edges, and avoid touching pins and contacts.
CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read the safety instructions on
page 16.
1 Ensure that the work surface is flat and clean to prevent scratching the computer
cover.
2 Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down the computer
(see "Turning Off Your Computer" on page 42).
3 If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it. See the
documentation that came with your docking device for instructions.
4 Remove all installed batteries, and disconnect the AC adapter cable and any external
devices from the computer. Wait 5 seconds before proceeding.
5 Ground yourself by touching a metal connector on the back of the computer, and
continue to do so periodically during this procedure.
