2. Press out the securing clip at each end of the memory module connector.

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

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.

Otherwise, your computer may not start properly. You should install your original memory modules in pairs either in connectors DIMM1 and DIMM2 or

connectors DIMM3 and DIMM4.

NOTICE: Removing memory modules from DIMM2 and DIMM4 on the desktop computer requires you to remove the optical drive (see "Drives"). Failure

to do so may cause damage to the memory module and the DIMM socket.

NOTE: Memory purchased from Dell is covered under your computer warranty.
