What to Do

Caution – DIMMs are made of electronic components that are extremely sensitive
to static electricity. Static electricity from your clothes or work environment can
destroy the DIMM. Do not remove any DIMM from its antistatic packaging until you
are ready to install it. Handle the modules only by their edges. Do not touch the
components or any metal parts, including the gold contacts on the bottom edge of
the module. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
Note – You must remove the CPU/Memory board before installing memory
modules.
