3. Ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal surface of an I/O connector on the
computer's back panel.

of the memory module connector just far enough for the memory module to disengage
from the connector (it should pop up slightly).
5. Lift the memory module out of its connector.

Replacing Memory Modules

1. Align the memory module's edge connector with the slot in the center of the memory
module connector. The memory module is keyed, or designed to fit into the connector in
only one direction. The slot on the system board is notched so that the memory module
can be firmly seated only one way.
2. With the module at a 45-degree angle, press the memory module's edge connector
firmly into the memory module connector.
3. Pivot the memory module down until it clicks into place.
If you do not hear a click as each end of the memory module snaps into the tabs, remove
the memory module and reinstall it.
