Installing DIMM Modules

To install a memory module, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the workstation and disconnect the power cord from the
grounded AC outlet.
2. Remove the side access panel.
CAUTION: When handling a DIMM, be careful not to touch any of
the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic
components of the workstation or optional boards. Before
beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of
static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Refer
to Appendix B, "Electrostatic Discharge," for more information.
IMPORTANT: Prior to installing additional DIMMs, read "Important
Guidelines for DIMM Installation" in the previous section.
