How to Remove a Memory Module

Before You Begin
If a memory module (DIMM) fails, POST diagnostics will alert ALOM to light the
system status Service Required LED.
Read the section:
"About the Memory Modules" on page 86
Complete these tasks:
"How to Avoid Electrostatic Discharge" on page 44
"How to Remove a CPU/Memory Module" on page 80
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 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 "How to
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge" on page 44.
Caution – The CPU/memory module and the DIMMs can be hot. Handle the
CPU/memory module and the DIMMs carefully to avoid injury.
1. Identify the memory module to be removed.
