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. 108 Ad di ng an d Rep lac ing Pa rts
