RIMM Installation
To install a RIMM memory module:
1. Perform the steps in the “Service Preparations” section as previously shown.
CAUTION:
Before removing the workstation access panel, ensure that the workstation is
turned off, all cables are disconnected from the back of the workstation, and the power cord is
disconnected from the grounded AC outlet.
2. Remove the workstation access panel.
WARNING:
RIMMs can reach a temperature of 212
°
F (100
°
C) in a matter of minutes. Caution
should be exercised whenever removing or replacing these components.
CAUTION:
When handling a RIMM, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may
damage the module.
3. A RIMM can be installed only one way. Be sure to match the two
key
slots
on the RIMM
with the tab on the RIMM socket. Push the RIMM down into the RIMM socket, ensuring
that it is fully inserted and properly seated.
IMPORTANT:
Do not combine different Direct Rambus speeds and capacities. Continuity RIMMs
(CRIMMs) must be installed in all unpopulated RIMM slots.
4. Press both latches inward to secure the module in the socket.
