130 Installing System Components11 Install the expansion card stabilizer. See "Installing the Expansion CardStabilizer."12 Close the system. See "Closing the System."13 Place the system upright and on its feet on a flat, stable surface.14 Reattach any peripherals, then connect the system to the electrical outlet.15 Turn on the system and attached peripherals.16 Press to enter the System Setup program, and check the SystemMemory setting on the main System Setup screen.The system should have already changed the value to reflect the newlyinstalled memory.17 If the value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not beinstalled properly. Repeat step 5 through step 8 of this procedure, checkingto ensure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets.18 Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics. See "Running theSystem Diagnostics."Removing Memory ModulesWARNING: The memory modules are hot to the touch for some time after thesystem has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules to coolbefore handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoidtouching the components on the memory module.CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling, memory-module blanks must beinstalled in any memory socket that is not occupied. Install a memory-moduleblank if you are removing a memory module and do not intend to install areplacement.1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnectthe system from the electrical outlet and peripherals.2 Open the system. See "Opening the System."3 Remove the expansion card stabilizer. See "Removing the Expansion CardStabilizer."4 Remove the cooling shroud.
