Dell Precision™ WorkStation 620
System Memory Upgrade
This document provides instructions for upgrading the Rambus inline memory mod-
ules (RIMMs) on the Dell Precision WorkStation 620. Dell Precision 620 systems
support dual, direct, Rambus dynamic random-access memory (RDRAM) modules.
These RIMMs feature error checking and correction (ECC).
NOTES: Dell recommends that only a technically knowledgeable person perform this
procedure.
Dell recommends that you read the entire procedure before you begin. You must also
be familiar with removing the system cover and locating the RIMMs.
Dell recommends that you print the contents of the system User’s Guide for
referencing important information that may not be available during critical procedures.
This document is available on your Dell Precision ResourceCD and can also be
accessed from the
User’s Guides
icon on your current desktop if you have not
reinstalled the operating system.
Upgrading the BIOS
You must upgrade the basic input/output system (BIOS) before you upgrade the
RIMMs. Otherwise, the existing BIOS may not recognize the new RIMMs, and the
system will not operate.
To upgrade the BIOS:
1. Download the BIOS update utility for the computer to be updated from the Dell
support website.
a. Go to
http://support.dell.com
.
If this is your first time to use this website, complete the one-time
registration.
b. Click
Downloads for Your Dell
.
c. Enter your Service Tag Number for the computer to be updated or select the
appropriate Dell™ system.
1-2 Sys tem Me mor y Upgrade
d. Select the appropriate operating system (OS) and language for the computer
to be updated.
e. Select FlashBIOS Updates for the download category.
f. Click Go and follow the instructions on screen to create a diskette containing
the BIOS update files.
NOTE: For some Dell systems, you are given a choice to create a diskette con-
taining the BIOS update files or to download a file you can use from the hard
drive. Select the choice to use the file that creates an installation diskette.
2. Insert the BIOS update diskette into the diskette drive of the computer to be
updated. Then restart the computer.
The computer automatically updates the BIOS from the diskette.
3. When the computer begins to restart and the Dell logo screen appears, remove
the diskette from the diskette drive so that the computer does not boot from the
diskette again.
Precautionary Measures
NOTICE: Before you upgrade the RIMMs, you must upgrade the BIOS. See
“Upgrading the BIOS” on page 1-1 for instructions.
Before you perform any of the procedures in this document, read the following notice
for your personal safety and to prevent damage to the system from electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD).
NOTICE: The procedure in this document requires that you remove the
cover and work inside your computer. Do not attempt to service the com-
puter except as explained in this document and elsewhere in Dell
documentation. Always follow installation and service instructions closely.
Before Removing the Cover
Before you remove the computer cover, perform the following steps in the sequence
indicated.
NOTICE: To help avoid possible damage to the system board, unplug your
computer system and wait 15 to 30 seconds before removing a component
from the system board or disconnecting a peripheral device from the
computer.
1. Turn off the computer and any peripherals.
2. Disconnect
the computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also, discon-
nect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.
Before disconnecting a peripheral from the computer or removing a component
from the system board, verify that the standby power light, located on the sys-
tem board, has turned off. If it is on, you may need to wait 15 to 30 seconds for it
support.dell.com System Memory Upgrade 1-3
to go out (see the internal system board label that is attached to the cover of your
computer).
3. Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as
the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before
touching anything inside your computer. Dell recommends that you use a wrist
grounding strap in this operation.
While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer
chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.
Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
•
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not
on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are dis-
connecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting
the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bend-
ing any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both
connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
•
Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or con-
tacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a
component such as a RIMM by its edges, not by its pins.
Upgrading System Memory
NOTICE: Before you upgrade the RIMMs, you must upgrade the BIOS. See
“Upgrading the BIOS” on page 1-1 for instructions.
This computer has two memory expansion cards (MECs), both consisting of four
sockets: RIMM1_A, RIMM2_A, RIMM3_B, and RIMM4_B. On each MEC, sockets
RIMM1_A and RIMM2_A comprise channel A, and sockets RIMM3_B and RIMM4_B
comprise channel B.
Dell Precision 620 systems support a maximum of eight RIMMs (four RIMMs per
MEC) for up to 3 gigabytes (GB) of total memory.
NOTE: Although you can insert 512-megabyte (MB) RIMMs in each socket, the BIOS
revision only supports a maximum of 3 GB.
Figure 1-1 shows the RIMMs and RIMM sockets.

RIMM Installation Guidelines
You must install RIMMs in pairs. This means that the RIMM in each socket on one
MEC must be the same memory capacity, density, and speed as the corresponding
RIMM in the same socket on the other MEC. Also, for either channel A or B of each
MEC, if one socket contains a RIMM, then the other socket must contain either
another RIMM or a continuity RIMM (CRIMM).
As an example, if you install only one pair of RIMMs in the RIMM1_A socket of each
MEC, then you must install a CRIMM in socket RIMM2_A of each MEC. Channel B
(sockets RIMM3_B and RIMM4_B) may remain empty, or it may contain one or two
CRIMMs per MEC (see Figure 1-1).
However, if channel A contains two RIMMs and you want to install additional RIMMs,
the preceding rules also apply for channel B.
NOTES: If 512-MB RIMMs are used, they must be populated starting with the bottom
RIMM socket (RIMM4_B, the one closest to the system board) and working up. For
example, see the configuration in the last row in Table 1-1. In this example, you would
insert the 512-MB RIMMs into the bottom three sockets (RIMM4_B, RIMM3_B,
RIMM2_A) and insert a CRIMM into the topmost socket (RIMM1_A).
When you add 512-MB RIMMs from a customer kit, you must remove all existing
RIMMs and reinstall the new 512-MB RIMMs, beginning with socket RIMM4_B and
working up on each riser board in mirror fashion.
Dell does not recommend or support the mixing of old and new 512-MB RIMMs in
sockets RIMM1_A and RIMM2_A.
