110 Installing System Components
12
Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on,
including any attached peripherals.
13
Start up the system, press <F2> to enter the System Setup program,
and check the
System Memory
settings on the main System Setup screen.
The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newly
installed memory.
14
If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be
installed properly. Repeat step 2 through step 13 of this procedure,
checking to ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their
sockets.
15
Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running the
Embedded System Diagnostics" on page 178.
Removing Memory Modules
WARNING: The memory modules are hot to the touch for some time after the
system has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules to cool
before handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid
touching the components on the memory module.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came
with the product.
