Removing DIMMs

See Figure 19-7.

2. Remove the top and side covers as described in Chapter 12, "Server Covers:

CAUTION
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.
5. Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject the DIMM from the socket
(Figure 19-7).
6. Carefully lift the DIMM away from the socket, and store it in an antistatic package.

may degrade the performance of your server. For information about running the SSU, see
Chapter 5, "System Setup Utility: When to Run."
