www.dell.com | support.dell.com Removing a Memory Module CAUTION: Before you perform this procedure, see "Precautionary Measures." CAUTION: RIMMs can get very hot during system operation. Be sure that the RIMMs have had sufficient time to cool before you touch them. NOTICE: Before disconnecting a peripheral from the system or removing a component from the system board, verify that the standby power indicator on the system board has turned off. To locate this indicator, see "System Board Components" or "Interior Service Label." 1 Turn off the computer and peripherals, disconnect them from their electrical outlets, wait at least 5 seconds, and then remove the computer cover. 2 If you have a mini tower chassis, lay the computer down on its right side. 3 Rotate the power supply away from the system board. 4 Remove the memory modules (RIMMs or CRIMMs): a Press the securing clips at each end of the socket outward simultaneously until the module pops out slightly from the socket (see the following figure). b Lift the module away from the socket. NOTE: If you remove a module (RIMM or CRIMM), you must install another module in the empty socket before turning on the computer. 58 Syst em Memor y
