removing a memory module

1 Remove the side panel that has thumbscrews. See page 99.
2 Gently lay the PC on its side.
3 Locate the memory sockets on the motherboard.

4 Move any cabling out of the way, if necessary.
5 Push down the two retaining clips on the ends of the socket until the memory

module pops out of the socket. Hold the memory module by its edges only, as
you lift it away from the socket. Store it in its antistatic packaging.

WARNING: Do not pull the memory module out of the socket. Use
the retaining clips to eject the module.
