s .or proper system operation, the RIMMs must be industrystandard, 168-pin, unbuffered RIMMs. The RIMMs must support CAS Latency 2 or 3 (CL = 2 or CL = 3). They also must contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Serial Presence Detect (SPD) information. CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation or optional boards. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. CAUTION: The above guidelines must be followed when installing RIMMs or your workstation will not function. CAUTION: When handling a memory module, do not touch any of the contacts. Doing so can damage the module. Installing RIMMs ! WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury when replacing or removing RIMMs, allow the module being removed from the RIMM slot sufficient time to cool. RIMM temperatures can reach 100°C (212°.). CAUTION: When handling a RIMM, do not touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module. CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation or option boards. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Before installing additional RIMMs, read “ Guidelines for RIMM Installation” in this chapter. ✎ CRIMMs must be installed in all unpopulated RIMM slots. 2-6 Hardware Upgrades
