Installing the Memory Module 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2. Holding the memory module by its edges, align the module so its edge engages in the guide rail at the back of the electronics bay. CAUTION The memory module is held in place by the 242-pin connector on the baseboard, the guide rail at the back of the electronics bay, and a plastic guide at the front of the electronics bay. You must support the module until it is fully seated in the connector. 3. Push the memory module toward the baseboard until it fully engages its connector. Removing DIMMs CAUTION Use extreme care when removing a DIMM. Too much pressure can damage the socket slot. Apply only enough pressure on the plastic ejector levers to release the DIMM. 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2. Remove the memory module and place it component-side up on a nonconductive, static-free surface (see "Removing the Memory Module" on page 112). 3. Gently push the plastic ejector levers out and down to eject a DIMM from its socket. 4. Hold the DIMM only by its edges, being careful not to touch its components or gold edge connectors. Carefully lift it away from the socket and store it in an antistatic package. 5. Repeat to remove other DIMMs as necessary. If you are REPLACING DIMMs, proceed to "Installing DIMMs" on page 114. If you are simply REMOVING DIMMs, continue the procedure with the following steps. 6. Reinstall the memory module. 7. Reinstall the foam cover(s). 8. Connect all external cables and power cords to the system. 9. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws. 10. Turn on the monitor and then the system. 11. Run the SSU/BIOS Setup to configure the system and to properly set up advanced memory attributes as required. 113
