2. With the ejectors in the open position (as shown), push down gently but firmly
on the memory module until it snaps into place. The guides on the socket’s
ejectors should go through the two mounting notches on the module and the
ejectors should close. If necessary, push the ejectors inward to secure the mod-
ule in place.
Removing Memory
1. To release a memory module, push both ejectors outward and pull the module
straight up and out of the RIMM sockets.
IMPORTANT: Do not touch the memory module’s connectors. Handle the mod-
ule only by the edges.
