To install DIMMs:

modem cord, if your computer has a modem.

2

Open the case by following the instructions on page 19, observing the
static electricity precautions on page 17.

3

Remove the drive cage so that you can access the DIMM sockets. (See
page 26 for instructions on removing the drive cage.)

4

Pull open the socket clamps on each side of the DIMM socket and lift
the DIMM out of the socket.

Caution

Never try to remove a DIMM without releasing the clamps.
You may break the socket, causing serious damage.
