Attention: When you handle ESD-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 38.
1.
Review the safety precautions listed in “Safety information” on page 39.
2. Remove any media (diskettes, CDs, or tapes) from the drives and shut down
your operating system.
3. Turn off the computer and all attached devices and disconnect all external
cables and power cords; then, remove the cover. See “Removing the computer
cover” on page 59 for details.
4. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the computer. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.
5. Install the DIMM:
6.
a. If you are installing a DIMM in connector 1 or 2, remove the AGP adapter.
See “System and PCI extender board option connectors” on page 35 for the
location of the AGP slot. See “Installing an adapter” on page 62 for details
about removing the AGP adapter.
b. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector. Turn the
DIMM so that the pins align correctly with the connector.
Note: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
c. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the DIMM edges with the
slots at each end of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight
down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM
simultaneously. Be sure that the retaining clips snap into the locked position
when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector.
d. If a gap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has
not been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and
remove the DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM.
e. If you removed the AGP adapter, reinstall it now. See “Installing an
adapter” on page 62 for details on reinstalling the AGP adapter.
7. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
8.
Replace the cover. See “Installing the cover” on page 69 for more details.
9. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached
devices and the computer.
Note: 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 & Exit Setup . See “Chapter 4. Configuring your computer” on page
27 for more information.
If you want to remove a DIMM, reverse the previous steps.
Installing a security U-bolt
To help prevent hardware theft, you can add a security U-bolt and cable to your
computer. After you add the security cable, make sure that it does not interfere
with other cables that are connected to the computer.
