To lock the DIMM into place, push the plastic clips on either end of the slot
onto the notches in the ends of the DIMM (see Figure 2-4 on the next page).
In some cases, pushing the memory module into the DIMM slot will move the
plastic clips inward, automatically locking the module into place. To remove
your DIMM, simply pull the clips back, and pull up on the module.
Place the DIMMs in an antistatic bag as soon as you remove them to avoid
static damage.
