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. Locate the slot into which you will install the memory module.
2. Rotate out the memory module ejector levers for that slot.
