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. Power off the system and ensure it is disconnected from the AC power

source.

2. Open and remove the front door and remove the left side panel as described

earlier in this chapter.

3. Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject a DIMM from its

socket. See Figure 4-10.

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 the above steps to remove the remaining DIMMs.

6. Replace the side panel, the front door, plug in the system power cord, and

turn on the system.
