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 option 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 before touching it. 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.
