Figure 1-4. Removing the Memory Module Cover

NOTICE: To prevent damage to the computer, do not use tools to spread the
inner metal tabs of the socket when you are installing or removing a mem-
ory module.
5. If you are replacing a memory module, remove the installed memory module.
NOTES: The 192-MB memory modules are socket-specific. If you install a
192-MB memory module, refer to the markings on the memory module to deter-
mine which socket will accept the module.
If a single memory module is installed and you are adding an additional memory
module, put the additional module in the available socket. You must remove a
memory module only to replace a module.
6. Using your fingernails, carefully spread apart the inner metal tabs of the memory
module socket just far enough for the memory module to disengage from the
socket (the module should pop up slightly). Then lift the memory module away
from the socket.
