Removing memory modules

Prerequisites
1 Remove the cooling shroud.
NOTE: If open, close the expansion card latch on the cooling shroud to release the full length card.
2 If connected, disconnect the cables from expansion card(s).
3 If installed, remove the expansion card riser.
WARNING: The memory modules are hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow the memory
modules to cool before handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components or
metallic contacts on the memory module.
CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling, memory module blanks must be installed in any memory socket that is not occupied.
Remove memory module blanks only if you intend to install memory modules in those sockets.
Steps
1 Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
2 To release the memory module from the socket, simultaneously press the ejectors on both ends of the memory module socket.
3 Lift and remove the memory module from the system.
