Removing DIMMs
Use extreme care when removing a DIMM. Too much
pressure can damage the socket slot. Apply only enough
pressure on the plastic ejector levers to release the DIMM.
1. Power off the system and ensure it is disconnected from the AC power
source.
2. Remove the left side panel as described earlier in this chapter.
Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic wrist strap.
Hold DIMMs only by their edges.
3. Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject a DIMM from its
socket. See Figure 4-12.
4. Hold the DIMM only by its edges, being careful not to touch its components
or gold edge connectors. Carefully lift it away from the socket, and store it
in an antistatic package.
5. Repeat the above steps to remove the remaining DIMMs.
6. If available, install a DIMM dust cover in any empty DIMM.
7. Replace the left side cover.
8. Plug in the server power cord, and power on the server.
