1. Remove the screw from the expansion port cover corresponding or nearest to
the RIMM2 socket.
2. Pull out the port access cover and set it aside in case you need to cover the port
again when you decide to replace the riser with RDRAM.
3. Remove the riser from its static-proof bag.
NOTE: Hold the riser by its edges to avoid touching the connector or any deli-
cate components on the riser.
4. Align the notch keys in the riser with the small ribs inside the RIMM sockets
(see opposite page for locations of parts).
5. With the RIMM socket’s ejectors in the open position (as shown), push down gently
but firmly on the riser until it snaps into place. The guides on the socket’s ejectors
should go through the two mounting notches on the riser and the ejectors should
close. If necessary, push the ejectors inward to secure the riser in place.
NOTES:
• Do not rock the riser side to side. Rocking the riser can damage the RIMM
socket and the riser.
• Do not force the riser in. If you meet a lot of resistance, pull the riser out and
try again.
• To see if the riser is properly connected, pull it gently. If it resists and stays
in place, it is connected. Make sure that you do not pull the riser so much
that you accidentally disconnect it.
