For additional information on the type of memory supported by your computer, see "Memory" on page 111. Only unbuffered, non-ECC memory is supported. 70 Removing and Installing Parts Memory Installation Guidelines · DIMM connectors must be populated in numerical order beginning with connectors DIMM_1 and DIMM_2, then connectors DIMM_3 and DIMM_4. If a single DIMM is installed, you must install it in connector DIMM_1. · For best performance, memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the memory modules are not installed in matched pairs, the computer will operate, but with a slight reduction in performance. (See the label on the module to determine the module's capacity. ) For example, if you install a mixed pair of DDR2 533-MHz and DDR2 667-MHz memory, the modules function at the slowest speed installed. 2 1 1 Channel A: matched pair of memory modules in connectors DIMM_1 and DIMM_2 (white securing clips) 2 Channel B: matched pair of memory modules in connectors DIMM_3 and DIMM_4 (black securing clips) NOTICE: If you remove your original memory modules from the computer during a memory upgrade, keep them separate from any new modules that you may have, even if you purchased the new modules from Dell. If possible, do not pair an original memory module with a new memory module. You should install your original memory modules in pairs either in DIMM connectors 1 and 2 or DIMM connectors 3 and 4. NOTE: Memory purchased from Dell is covered under your computer warranty. Removing and Installing Parts 71 Addressing Memory With 4-GB Configurations Your computer supports a maximum of 4 GB of memory when you use four 1-GB DIMMs. Current 32-bit operating systems, such as Microsoft® Windows® XP can use a maximum of 4 GB of address , space; however, the amount of memory available to the operating system is less than that installed. CAUTION: Some network adapters automatically start the computer when they are connected to a network. To guard against electrical shock, be sure to unplug your computer from its electrical outlet before installing any cards.

Then connect one end of the cable to the sound card and the other end of the cable to the connection on the front I/O panel from which you removed the jumper. NOTICE: To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network device and then plug it into the computer. 10 Replace the computer cover, reconnect the computer and devices to electrical outlets, and then turn them on. 11 If you installed a sound card: a b Enter system setup (see "System Setup" on page 115), go to Onboard Devices and select Integrated Audio, and then change the setting to Off. Do not connect external audio devices to the microphone, speaker/headphone, or line-in connectors on the back panel.
