Removing DIMMs
C C A A U U T T I I O O N N
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.
Read through the instructions on page 4 of this chapter.
2.
Remove the memory module as detailed above and place it component-side up on a
nonconductive, static-free surface.
3.
Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject a DIMM from its socket.
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 to remove other DIMMs as necessary.
6.
If you are REPLACING DIMMs, proceed to 'Installing DIMMs'.
7.
If you are simply REMOVING DIMMs, continue the procedure with the following steps.
8.
Reinstall the memory module.

Reinstall the foam cover(s).
10. Connect all external cables and power cords to the system.
11. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws.

attributes as required.
Installing DIMMs
C C A A U U T T I I O O N N
Use extreme care when installing a DIMM. Applying too much pressure can damage the socket.
DIMMs are keyed and can be inserted in only one way.
N N O O T T E E
DIMM slots on the memory module must be installed only in certain configurations. See 'Memory'
on page 10 of this chapter for more information.
1.
Holding the DIMM only by its edges, remove it from its antistatic package.
2.
Orient the DIMM so that the two notches in the bottom edge of the DIMM align with the
keyed socket on the memory module.
3.
Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket, then press down firmly on the DIMM
until it seats correctly.
4.
Gently push the plastic ejector levers on the socket ends to the upright position.
5.
Repeat the steps to install each DIMM.
