Removal and replacement procedures 32
To remove a memory module:
1. Perform the pre-installation procedure.
2. If necessary, remove any accessory boards or cables that prevent access to the DIMM slots.
3. Locate the memory module you want to remove.
4. Remove the selected memory module:
a. Completely open the holding clips securing the module.
This forces the module up in the slot and makes it easier to remove.
b. Gently pull the memory module upward to remove it from its slot.

5. Place the memory module on a static-dissipating work surface or inside an anti-static bag.
6. Perform the post-installation procedure.
To install a memory module:
1. Perform steps 1 and 2 of the previous section.
2. Locate an empty DIMM slot on the system board.
3. If necessary, open the holding clips of the selected DIMM slot.
4. Remove the memory module from its protective packaging, handling it by the edges.
5. Install the memory module.
a. Orient the module so that the notch on its bottom edge aligns with the keyed surface of the DIMM slot,
and then press it fully into the slot.
The DIMM slots are structured to ensure proper installation. If you insert a memory module but it does
not fit easily into the slot, you may have inserted it incorrectly. Reverse the orientation of the module
and insert it again.
b. Firmly press the holding clips inward to secure the memory module in place.
If the holding clips do not close, the module is not inserted correctly.
