Installing the 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 Press down and out on the ejectors on each end of the memory module
socket. See Figure 3-59.
2 Align the memory module correctly with the alignment key of the
memory module socket. See Figure 3-59.
3 Press down firmly on the memory module with your thumbs until the
module snaps into place. See Figure 3-59.
CAUTION: Even pressure during insertion must be applied at both ends of the
module simultaneously to prevent damage to the socket. No pressure should be
applied to the center of the module.
Complete the latching of the module into the socket by applying
inward pressure to the socket ejectors to assure that the ejectors are in
a locked position. When the memory module is properly seated in the
socket, the ejectors on the memory module socket align with the
ejectors on other identical sockets that have memory modules installed.
