Installing the memory modules

Prerequisites

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 are shipped with your product.
  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
  2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
  3. Remove the sled from the chassis.
  4. Remove the air shroud.

Steps

  1. Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
  2. Push out the ejectors on each end of the memory module socket.
  3. Align the memory module correctly with the alignment key of the memory module socket.
  4. Simultaneously press down firmly on both ends of the memory module with your thumbs until the module snaps into place.
    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.
  5. Complete the latching of the module into the socket by applying inward pressure to the socket ejectors to ensure 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.
