Removing A Memory Module - Sun Microsystems Netra 440 Service Manual

Removing a Memory Module

If a memory module (DIMM) fails, POST diagnostics alerts ALOM to light the
enclosure status Service Required LED.
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 a DIMM from its antistatic packaging until you
are ready to install it on the CPU/memory module. Handle the DIMM only by its
edges. Do not touch the components or any metal part. Always wear an antistatic
grounding strap when you handle the DIMM. For more information, see

Caution – The CPU/memory module and the DIMMs can be hot. Handle the
CPU/memory module and the DIMMs carefully to avoid injury.
