System Memory
The six memory module sockets can accommodate from 256 MB to 16GB of registered ECC PC2-3200 (DDR 2 400) memory. The memory sockets are located on the system board adjacent to the power supply bays. See Figure 6-1.
You can upgrade the system memory by installing combinations of 256-, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, and 4-GB (when available) registered memory modules.
NOTE: The memory modules must be PC2-3200 compliant.
NOTICE: If you remove your original memory modules from the system during a memory upgrade, keep them separate from any new memory modules that you may have. Use only registered ECC DDR II memory modules.
The memory module sockets are arranged in three banks on two channels (A and B). The memory module banks are identified as follows:
Bank 1: DIMM1_A and DIMM1_B
Bank 2: DIMM2_A and DIMM2_B
Bank 3: DIMM3_A and DIMM3_B
General Memory Module Installation Guidelines
If only one memory module is installed, it must be installed in socket DIMM1_A or DIMM1B.
If two or more memory modules are installed, they must be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology.
The system supports both single-ranked and dual-ranked memory modules.
If you install both single-ranked and dual-ranked memory modules, the dual-ranked memory modules must be installed in bank 1.
Dual-ranked memory modules are not supported in bank 3.
If dual-ranked memory modules are installed in bank 2, you cannot install memory modules in bank 3.
Memory modules marked with a 1R are single ranked and modules marked with a 2R are dual ranked. See Figure 6-7.
Figure 6-7. Determining a Memory Module's Capacity and Rank
Spare Bank Support
If six identical single-rank memory modules are installed, the memory modules in bank 3 (DIMM3_A and DIMM3_B) can function as a spare bank if you select the spare bank option using the System Setup program.
NOTE: All six memory modules must be single-rank modules, identical in size.
Memory Mirroring Support
The system supports memory mirroring if identical memory modules are installed in bank 1 and bank 2, and no memory modules are installed in bank 3.
Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 show examples of different memory configurations. Table 6-2 lists the various allowable combinations of single- and dual-ranked memory modules.
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.

Processor
It is possible to upgrade your processor(s) to take advantage of future options in speed and functionality. Each processor and its associated internal cache memory are contained in a pin grid array (PGA) package that is installed in a ZIF socket on the system board.
The following items are included in the processor upgrade kit:
Processor
Heat sink
Replacing the Processor
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.
Open the system. See "Opening the System" in Troubleshooting Your System."
NOTE: When you remove the heat sink, the possibility exists that the processor might adhere to the heat sink and be removed from the socket. It is recommended that you remove the heat sink while the processor is still warm.
NOTICE: Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to remove the processor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
Press the blue tab on the end of one of the heat-sink retention levers to disengage the lever,
then lift the lever 90 degrees. See Figure 6-9.
Figure 6-9. Installing and Removing the Heat Sink
Wait 30 seconds for the heat sink to loosen from the processor.
Open the other heat sink retention lever. See Figure 6-9.
If the heat sink has not separated from the processor, carefully rotate the heat sink in a
clockwise, then counterclockwise, direction until it releases from the processor. Do not pry the
heat sink off of the processor.
Lift the heat sink off of the processor and set the heat sink upside down so as not to
contaminate the thermal grease.
Pull the socket-release lever straight up until the processor is released from the socket. See
Figure 6-10.
Figure 6-10. Installing and Removing the Processor
Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for
the new processor.
NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins when removing the processor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the processor.
Unpack the new processor.
If any of the pins on the processor appear bent, see "Getting Help."
Align the pin-1 corner of the processor with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket. See
Figure 6-10.
NOTE: Identifying the pin-1 corners is critical to positioning the processor correctly.
Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor by locating the tiny gold triangle on one corner of the processor. Place this corner in the same corner of the ZIF socket identified by a corresponding triangle.
Install the processor in the socket.
NOTICE: If you position the processor incorrectly, you can permanently damage the processor and the system when you turn it on. When placing the processor in the socket, make sure that all of the pins on the processor enter the corresponding holes. Be careful not to bend the pins.
If the release lever on the processor socket is not positioned all the way up, move it to that
position.
With the pin-1 corners of the processor and socket aligned, set the processor lightly in the
socket, making sure all pins are matched with the correct holes in the socket.
Because the system uses a ZIF processor socket, do not use force, which could bend the pins if the processor is misaligned.
When the processor is positioned correctly, it drops down into the socket with minimal pressure.
When the processor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever back down
until it snaps into place, securing the processor.
Install the heat sink.
Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the existing thermal grease from the heat sink.
NOTE: Use the heat sink that you removed earlier in this procedure.
Apply thermal grease evenly to the top of the processor.
Place the heat sink onto the processor. See Figure 6-9.
Close one of the two heat sink retention levers until it locks. See Figure 6-9.
Repeat for the other heat sink retention lever.
Close the system. See "Closing the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."
As the system boots, it detects the presence of the new processor and automatically changes the system configuration information in the System Setup program.
Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check that the processor informationmatches the new system configuration.
See your User's Guide for instructions about using the System Setup program.
