powered down. Allow the memory modules to cool before handling them. Handle the memory

modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components or metallic contacts on the

memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory-module blanks only if you intend to install

memory modules in those sockets.

CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the card edges, making sure not to touch

the middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.

2. To release the memory module from the socket, simultaneously press the ejectors on both ends of
