1 Turn off the computer and peripherals, disconnect them from their
electrical outlets, wait at least 5 seconds, and then remove the
computer cover.
2 Rotate the power supply away from the system board.
3 If necessary, remove any modules (RIMMs or CRIMMs) that occupy
sockets in which you plan to install the upgrade modules.
NOTE: The system supports no more than a total of 64 memory devices
on all installed RIMMs. See "RIMM Label" for the location of the label on
the RIMM that identifies the number of memory devices it contains. You
can also determine the number of memory devices installed through the
System Memory option in system setup.

securing tab snaps into place.

to their electrical outlets, and turn them on.

Enter system setup, and check the value for System Memory. The
system should have already changed the value of System Memory to
reflect the newly installed memory. If the new total is correct, skip to
step 9.
8 If the memory total is incorrect, repeat step 1 and step 2. Check the
installed modules to ensure that they are seated properly in their
sockets. Then repeat step 5 through step 7.
9 When the System Memory total is correct, exit system setup.
10 Run the Dell Diagnostics to verify that the memory modules are
operating properly.
