Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding “Safety information”
on page iii and “Guidelines” on page 63.

performing the operation. See “Memory module installation rules” on page 76.
To remove a memory module, do the following:
1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all
power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
2. If the server is installed in a rack cabinet, remove the server from the rack cabinet and place it on a flat,
clean, and static-protective surface. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes with the server. If
the server is in tower form factor, lay the server on its side for easier operation.
3. Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 66.

7. Locate the memory module that you want to remove and open the retaining clips on both ends of the
memory slot. Then, grasp the memory module by its edges and carefully pull it straight up to remove it
from the memory slot.
