Removing DIMMs
CAUTION
Use extreme care when removing a DIMM. Too much pressure can damage
the socket slot. Apply only enough pressure on the plastic ejector levers to
release the DIMM.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Remove each memory module and place it component-side up on a nonconductive, static-free
surface (see "Removing a Memory Module" on page 142).
3. Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject a DIMM from its socket.
4. Hold the DIMM only by its edges, being careful not to touch its components or gold edge
connectors. Carefully lift it away from the socket and store it in an antistatic package.
5. Repeat to remove other DIMMs as necessary.
If you are REPLACING DIMMs, proceed to "Installing DIMMs" on page 145.
If you are simply REMOVING DIMMs, continue the procedure with the following steps.
6. Reinstall the memory module.
7. Run the SSU/BIOS Setup to configure the system and to properly set up advanced memory
attributes as required.
