Adding Memory
You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on
the system board. See "Specifications" on page 70 for information on the
memory supported by your computer. Add only memory modules that are
intended for your computer.
HINT:
Memory modules
purchased from Dell are
covered under your
computer warranty.
CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read the safety
instructions at the front of this document.
1
Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down
the computer.
2
Remove any installed PC Cards.
3
Remove all installed batteries, and disconnect the AC adapter cable
and any external devices from the computer. Wait 5 seconds before
proceeding.
4
Ground yourself by touching a metal connector on the back of the
computer, and continue to do so periodically during this procedure.
NOTICE:
While you work, periodically touch unpainted metal on the
computer to dissipate static electricity that might harm internal components.
5
Turn the computer over, loosen the captive screw in the memory
module cover, and lift the cover.
