Removing the DIMM
Use this procedure to remove the DIMM from the DIMM slot on the LittleBoard 550.
1. If the LittleBoard 550 is already powered up, power down the system.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the LittleBoard 550 and the DIMM, ensure the
power switch on the power supply is turned off and the power cord has
been removed from the power source. The typical power supply will
continue to provide standby current to the board until the power cord is
disconnected.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power source.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the DIMM, do not touch the DIMM until you have
discharged yourself and followed good Electrostatic Discharge principals.
The DIMMs are sensitive to static electricity and can be easily damaged by
improper handling. Do the following when handling a DIMM:
Leave the DIMM in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
Always use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat connected
to ground.
Before you remove a DIMM from the anti-static bag, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
3. Locate the DIMM slot. See Figure 2-4.

4. Open both retaining latches to release and lift the DIMM from the slot. See Figure 2-5.
The DIMM will spring up from the slot once you open both retaining latches. Opening the
DIMM retaining latches releases the DIMM, lifting its bottom edge away from the slot.
