|
CAUTION: To guard against likelihood of electric shock, laceration by moving fan blades or other unexpected injuries, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before opening the cover. |
|
CAUTION: Do not operate your computer with any cover(s) (including computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, front-panel inserts, and so on) removed. |
|
CAUTION: Some of the parts described in this chapter may be replaceable by a certified service technician only and are not custom replaceable. |
This chapter provides procedures for removing and installing the components in your computer. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure assumes that the following conditions exist:
The procedures in this document may require the following tools:
|
NOTICE: To avoid losing data, save and close all open files and exit all open programs before you turn off your computer. |
The computer turns off after the operating system shutdown process finishes.
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help to ensure your own personal safety.
|
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide. |
|
NOTICE: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, not by its pins. |
|
NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your computer. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. |
|
NOTICE: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the cable itself. Some cables have connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned. |
|
NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug the cable from the network device. |
|
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the system board, you must remove the main battery before you service the computer. |
|
CAUTION: To guard against likelihood of electric shock, laceration by moving fan blades or other unexpected injuries, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before opening the cover. |
|
NOTICE: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal at the back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate static electricity, which could harm internal components. |
|
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide. |
|
CAUTION: To guard against likelihood of electric shock, laceration by moving fan blades or other unexpected injuries, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before opening the cover. |
|
CAUTION: Do not operate your equipment with any cover(s) (including computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, front-panel inserts, etc.) removed. |
|
NOTICE: Ensure that sufficient space exists to support the removed cover. |
|
NOTICE: Ensure that you are working on a level, protected surface to avoid scratching either the computer or the surface on which it is resting. |

You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on the system board. Your computer supports DDR2 memory. For additional information on the type of memory supported by your computer, see Memory.
|
NOTICE: Do not install ECC or buffered memory modules. Only unbuffered, non-ECC memory is supported. |
If a single DIMM is installed, you must install it in connector DIMM_1.
|
1 |
Pair A: matched pair of memory modules in connectors DIMM_1 and DIMM_3 |
2 |
Pair B: matched pair of memory modules in connectors DIMM_2 and DIMM_4 |
If a single DIMM is installed, you must install it in connector DIMM_1.
|
1 |
Pair A: matched pair of memory modules in connector DIMM_1 and DIMM_2 |
|
|
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 667-MHz and DDR2 800-MHz memory, the modules function at the slowest speed installed.
|
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: DIMM connectors 1 and 3 or DIMM connectors 2 and 4 (not applicable for 530sb/530sd). |
|
NOTE: Memory purchased from Dell is covered under your computer warranty. |
|
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide. |
|
CAUTION: Before installing memory, you must remove the PCI Express x16 card. See Cards. |
|
NOTICE: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis. |
