Lift the computer so that its right side is facing down (1) and place it on the stand (2). Be sure that the arrow on the stand is pointing toward the front of the computer. Figure 2-1 Changing from Desktop to Tower Orientation Reconnect the power cord and any external devices, then turn on the computer.
Removing the Computer Cover Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer. Remove all removable media, such as compact discs, from the computer. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices. CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet.
Replacing the Computer Cover Place the computer cover on the chassis about 1.3 cm (½ inch) in front of the final position and slide it back into place until it locks. Figure 2-3 Replacing the Computer Cover ENWW Replacing the Computer Cover...
Removing the Bezel Blank On some models, a bezel blank covering the 5.25-inch external drive bay must be removed before installing a drive. To remove a bezel blank: Remove the computer cover and place it upside down on a stable surface. Push the bezel blank outward from the center of the blank so that it is bowed out.
Installing Additional Memory The computer comes with double data rate 2 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR2- SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). DIMMs The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to four industry-standard DIMMs. These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM.
Populating DIMM Sockets There are four DIMM sockets on the system board, with two sockets per channel. The sockets are labeled DIMM 1, DIMM 2, DIMM 3, and DIMM 4. Sockets DIMM 1 and DIMM 2 operate in memory channel A. Sockets DIMM 3 and DIMM 4 operate in memory channel B. Figure 2-6 DIMM Socket Locations Item...
should be populated with the two 512MB DIMMs. With this configuration, 2 GB will run as dual channel and 256 MB will run as single channel. ● In any mode, the maximum operational speed is determined by the slowest DIMM in the system. Installing DIMMs CAUTION: You must disconnect the power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the power to...
