12 Start up the system, press to enter the System Setup program, and check the System Memory setting on the main System Setup screen. The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly installed memory. 13 If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Repeat step 2 through step 12 of this procedure, checking to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets. 14 Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running the Embedded System Diagnostics" on page 160. Removing 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. 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 in those sockets. 1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet. 2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 80. 3 Remove the system board shroud. See "Removing the System Board Shroud" on page 98. 4 Locate the memory module sockets. See Figure 6-1. 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 3-17. Handle each memory module only on either card edge, making sure not to touch the middle of the memory module. Installing System Components 117

installed in any memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory-module
blanks only if you intend to install memory in those sockets.
1
Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect
the system from the electrical outlet.
2
Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 80.
3
Remove the system board shroud. See "Removing the System Board
Shroud" on page 98.
4
Locate the memory module sockets. See Figure 6-1.
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 3-17.
Handle each memory module only on either card edge, making sure not to
touch the middle of the memory module.
