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.
