Memory

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.

Memory Installation Guidelines:

Inspiron 530s/530sa/530sc

DIMM connectors must be populated in numerical order beginning with connectors DIMM_1 and DIMM_3, then 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 connectors DIMM_1 and DIMM_3

2

Pair B: matched pair of memory modules in connectors DIMM_2 and DIMM_4

Inspiron 530sb/530sd

DIMM connectors must be populated in numerical order beginning with connector DIMM_1, then connector DIMM_2.

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.

Installing Memory

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.
