Upgrading the system memory
This section includes instructions for removing and installing a
memory module.
Memory modules must be installed and removed in pairs, observing
sequential slot positions.
To remove a DIMM
Before you can install a new DIMM in a socket, remove first any
previously installed DIMM from that socket.
Important: Before removing any DIMM from the mainboard,
make sure to create a backup file of all important data.
1 Observe the ESD precautions and pre-installation procedures
described on page 31.
2 Locate the DIMM socket on the mainboard.
3 Press the holding clips on both sides of the socket outward to
release the DIMM (1).
4 Gently pull the DIMM upward to remove it from the socket (2).
Note: Place your forefingers on the top of the DIMM before
pressing the holding clips to gently disengage the DIMM from the
socket.
