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 or metallic contacts 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.
CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling, memory-module blanks must be installed
in any memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory-module blanks
only if you intend to install memory modules in those sockets.
CAUTION: If you
are permanently removing a processor, you must install a socket protective
cap and a processor/DIMM blank in the vacant socket to ensure proper
system cooling. The processor/DIMM blank covers the vacant sockets
for the DIMMs and the processor.
Remove the blade from the enclosure.
Open the blade.
Remove the cooling shroud.
Locate the appropriate memory module socket(s).
Press the ejectors on the memory module socket down and
out to allow the memory module to be inserted into the socket.
If a memory module blank is installed in the socket, remove
it. Retain removed memory-module blank(s) for future use.
CAUTION: Handle
each memory module only on either card edge, making sure not to touch
the middle of the memory module.
Align the memory module's edge connector with the alignment
key on the memory module socket, and insert the memory module in the
socket.
NOTE: The memory
module socket has an alignment key that allows you to install the
memory module in the socket in only one way.
Press down on the memory module with your thumbs to lock
the memory module into the socket.
When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the
ejectors on the memory module socket align with the ejectors on the
other sockets that have memory modules installed.
Repeat step 5 through step 7 of this procedure to install
the remaining memory modules.
Install the cooling shroud.
Close the blade.
Install the blade in the enclosure.
(Optional) Press <F2> to enter the System Setup, and
check the
System Memory setting.
The system should have already changed the value to reflect
the newly installed memory.
If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules
may not be installed properly. Check to ensure that the memory modules
are firmly seated in their sockets.
Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics.
