6. Remove the guide rails from the drive cage. Attach the blue, plastic guide
rails to the sides of the drive using the screws provided.
7.
Slide the drive into the drive cage until the plastic tabs on the guide rails lock
into place in the drive cage.
8. Lift the drive cage up and press in on the drive cage release tab; then, rotate
the cage back into the computer.
Note: Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the drive cage.
9. Connect the power and signal cables to the rear of each drive.
Note: Make sure to route the signal cable so that it does not block the air flow
to the rear of the drives or over the microprocessor.
10.
If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
11. Reinstall the support bracket assembly and reconnect the fan cable to the
connector (SYSFA3) on the system board. See “Removing the support bracket
assembly” on page 48 for removal instructions.
12. Reinstall the side cover, see “Installing the cover” on page 61 for details.
13. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached
devices and the computer.

Installing memory modules
Adding memory to your computer is an easy way to make programs run faster.
You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing options
called memory modules. Each module contains one industry-standard, dual in-line
memory module (DIMM). Your computer uses a noninterleaved memory
configuration.
Your computer comes with a DIMM installed on the system board in DIMM slot 1.
Notes:
1. When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory
module in DIMM slot 2, and the third in DIMM slot 3. (See the illustration in
this section for memory connector locations.)
2.
Your IntelliStation xxxx E Pro computer supports 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, and
512 MB DIMMs. Your computer supports a minimum of 64 MB and a
maximum of 1.5 GB of system memory. Go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support for a list of memory modules for use with
your computer.
3. Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the
computer. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must change
and save the new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup
Utility program. When you restart the computer, the system displays a message
indicating that the memory configuration has changed. Start the
Configuration/Setup Utility program and select
Save Settings
. See “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 23 for more information.
